Running update: Back training and racing again

I can safely say that I believe the worst of my adductor strain, that has kept me sidelined for most of 2010 is behind me. I'm up to 60 miles a week and 10 miles for a long run without any discomfort. I'm training for the Boston Marathon for the third time, which I didn't get to run last year due to the injury. I'm aiming for another personal record, so breaking 2:34 will be a major success in my mind, considering the lack of training during the past year. I am well rested, that's for sure. I feel like I've come away from this injury experience wiser, and I'm definitely concentrating more on strength training and stretching because of it. I plan on racing a full slate again in January, so here's to four more weeks of injury-free base mileage.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday season!
