Yahtzee!!! Cowabanga!!! Geronimo!!! Hallelujah!!! Kampai!!! Salude!!! Prost!! Just took it easy but back on the streets again. As my 5yo son would say, it was "gorky" (oh, the things they pick up at kindergarten).
When I told my wife that I was cleared for running, she said I should "treat" myself by getting up as early as I wanted today and just run. As if getting up at 4:15 and facing 15 degree temperatures is some sort of "gift" or "privilege".
OK, fine, it is.
Finished with bridges and stretching. Likely going to just alternate days of running and days off for a little bit.

    YES! The king of the road is back! Thrilled for you Greg! It must've been torture being off that long, but what an inspiration you are in how you handled that injury. Happy, injury-free running my friend!

    Ha!! Gorky indeed. Welcome back Greg - you showed incredible restraint in getting your body right before hitting the road again. For someone who tends to (stupidly) push through injuries, It was a really good lesson/reminder in how to do it right. Thanks!
