Me and pooch went for a 2 miler this afternoon.  I was a little winded, and have lost quite a bit of fitness.  Pooch was exhausted. . But the foot felt pretty good, and it is on ice right now.  We will see how it feels tomorrow.

First off… I am going to start running again.  My last treatment was a couple of days ago, and time to get back into the marathon training.  September still looks iffy, but hopefully at least the Disney Marathon is still a go.
