Well I'm back at the running blog. I have been running 2-3 times a
week for a couple of months now since my doctor cleared me for running.
In case you don't remember, I broke my femur last March after the Moab
Half Marathon.
I was mountainbiking on the Slickrock trail and
crashed right at the end of the trail. It was an impact fracture and
broke into roughly 11 pieces high on my left leg. I have a 12 inch
plate and some 9 titanium screws now but the bone has healed admirably.
I am now trying to get my leg muscles back into shape. I have no
restrictions from my doctor but have noticed that I still limp a bit
beyond 3-4 miles or so of running. At seven miles this was one of the longer runs I've done since the injury. The pace was moderate as Jo was with Larry and me. We ran along the canal in the snow and had an enjoyable time talking. Temperature was in the mid 20s.
