Is anyone still doing the running thing?

After a 2.5 month layoff due to a stress fracture in my left shin, I'm back in the gym and in Central Park, training for the Boston Marathon in April. Feels great to be running again! B|

You made the time qualification to enter Boston?? What do you have?

17 years ago I ran the Columbus marathon with a goal of beating 2:10 so I could get to Boston. Hit the wall at 21 miles and finished in 2:29. [:/]

I feel like a real lazy asshole. Stress piled on from work for a couple months, started rock climbing again somewhere in the middle of that, and right when I was finally sick of not having run at all in recent memory, I got an ankle injury climbing. Just recovered from that, but it's strengthened my resolve. In two running sessions, Sunday and tonight, I managed to drop my 2 mile time from 17 flat to just over 15 minutes. I'm down to 7 1/2 minutes per mile again, even if it's just for 2 miles.

I may not be doing as much distance running as normal. I'm starting a new workout to fill the next four months while I apply to become a police officer in Washington, DC. Although to be honest, I'm going to try to design a hybrid workout, because I love distance running, and I can't foresee doing less of it.
