I'm really excited for you and eagerly await your report! I hope you enjoy visiting Massachusetts as much as I enjoyed living there for 17 years.<BR/><BR/>Terry, thanks for visiting my blog and for passing on your best wishes. I'm glad that your shoulder is healed and that you're back into running. I took a week off from running after my injury, and later, due to the flu, I took two weeks off. Neither break was long enough. So, this time I'm giving it a month. Of course, if my leg heals before the month is over, I'll likely start running again. When I do start running, I'll start with a half-mile and work up to 5 miles. I want to level off at 5,5,5 for a month to allow my body to regain strength.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is that I'm not sure what I did to cause the injury. I had been careless in doing my knee and hip strengthening exercises before each run, and I'm guessing my muscles were week and couldn't withstand the fast, rainy run I did the day of the accident. During my month off, I'll be very diligent in doing ALL of my stretches!Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02879512265582253237noreply@blogger.com
