Long Time No Talkie

Man it has been a while since I posted on here. Since nobody has ever read it then I guess my six initial posts were a fruitless endevor. Alas, I should invite some friends.

Just to post a very succinct synopses of what has been going on, I have taken 5 months almost completely off of running. From mid-September to this February, I have been suffering from sciatica. Surprisingly the cause doesn't seem to be from overuse. Last month I began seeing a Physical Therapist who immediately diagnosed me with a back sprain and was confident that I could run again in the near future. Low and behold I am run/walking for 30 minutes per day. So for five days straight (hopefully 6 after tonight) I have been running albeit very slow. The pain has nearly subsided and only tightness and lack of fitness hinder me.

I have also been swimming three nights a week for the last few weeks. I have decided to make my debut at the triathlon this summer. I just need to get a decent bike... the death trap is just not going to cut it.
