MLK Jr Day

I don't know if that after weeks of 30 degree weather, but there is something I like about my MLK Jr Day runs. Over the past years, MLK Day has given me a day to just get back out there and running. Today was so nice and warm. Now I'm getting my self focused on the National Marathon in March. Yea...I'm going to run it. Its time to get back into the swing of things.

On January 21, 1997 while skiing, I blew my left knee out and was told by the doctor that my marathon running was over. But he was a great doc and did an incredible job on my knee...also I know that God had a major role in my overcoming the injury.
