I know Dan's getting lonely on the blog,

so I thought I'd post today...and for another reason. Not that Dan's loneliness alone doesn't deserve a post from a fellow blogger, but today's date actually holds significance, as it's seven weeks to the day from my surgery.

I'm doing very well. Three weeks from yesterday is my next doctor appointment, when I could walk for the first time since walking into the OR on January 2nd. That's something to look forward to. I have a feeling that rehab is going to be slow and painful, but I need to take it one step at a time and before I know it, I'll be running again. Surprisingly, I've been very patient throughout the recovery period. I hope that my patience continues through rehab and after when I start getting back into shape. I'd like to run the road race in Litchfield this June. We'll see.

Dan, you've had a pretty adventurous second marathon training cycle. Lots of snow, ice and mud; cuts, scrapes and bruises. Are you still shooting for a 3:15? That's Boston territory. Good luck.

Jeff, we haven't heard boo from you. How's your first marathon training cycle going? Good luck in VA Beach.
