On the way to being injury-free!

Well, my foot is starting to feel better, but I know that if I don't give it more time, it'll just come back to haunt me again.  I think I'll be able to start running again in March.  Hopefully I can get back into sub-2:00 half marathon shape before the Get in Gear half in April.  I think it's doable.

Starting this weekend, I think I'm going to start walking (or elliptical-ing) 30 mins a day, 5 days a week, in order to give my body a head start.  It shouldn't affect my foot, but if I feel the slightest twinge, I'll have to back off.  I learned the hard way that 3 days of running before my foot was 100% set me back another 4-5 weeks, so I'm going to do the best I can to prepare the rest of my body without putting too much strain on my foot.
