Spring Forward

Well here I go again . . . It is finally starting to feel like Spring here in Massachusetts. Last week we even had temperatures in the low 70's and it was AWESOME. Today it is sunny and clear, a little cooler than I would like but I refuse to complain. At least it isn't snowing anymore. Garrett is outside working on our yard right now. We are hoping to get a jump start on the lawn this year.


Well despite my best intentions, it looks as though I will not be running for some time. I had some minor complications with the knee surgery that caused most of the major muscles in my leg to shut down. It is frustrating because I spend so much time building up my muscles and they disappear practically overnight. At this point, I do not have enough muscle strength to even straighten my leg completely. Fortunately, I am now going to physical therapy a couple hours a day, three times a week. I have gone for three sessions and already I feel that there is improvement. I found a great place right near my work so it is very convenient. I also feel that I am in excellent hands with Kennedy Brothers. Not only does half of my law firm go there, but they also train athletes for the Boston Marathon and are the official therapists for the UAE soccer team. My therapist "Dutch" assures me that as long as I follow all of his instructions, I will be running again in 6 weeks and will be ready for another half marathon by the Fall. The therapy is brutal but I love it because I feel that I am recovering (albeit slowly . . .). I am signed up for two races in June so I am hoping to have no problems by then. Until then, I will work hard in therapy and try to walk without a limp - I think I look pretty silly right now, but I'm getting better :) I'll continue to keep you posted.

Not much other new stuff to report right now. We are just counting down the days until our vacation . . .

Hopefully, you too are enjoying Spring weather!
