Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

A little step back on my shoulder. Elise got a new bike for her birthday - she has pretty much outgrown her first bike at this point.

I still have many boxes to unpack in the garage, and I spent a lot time searching through them for the training wheels for the old bike so I could get Anna started on riding. It was a lot of lifting, too much - and I was sore this morning.

It was worth it though - great to see little Anna riding around, and she was very happy about it. She also picked out a helmet that has anime-style  racoon ears, which is the cutest thing ever.

Nine days with no running. I think that's the longest break I've had in 7 years.

I went to my doctor yesterday, since my shoulder has remained sore. I think it has improved a bit, but it's a little hard to say. Morning is better, but after a day of moving around it feels pretty lousy by evening.

My doctor did an ultrasound - good news was no obvious damage beyond swollen tendons. He wrote me a prescription for a strong anti-inflammatory. He's hopeful that will take care of it. The one piece of bad news was that based on the places I'm experiencing soreness, there is some chance I have a tear in my rotator cuff. At the moment he's betting against it and holding off on an MRI to see how the next week goes.
