Returning back to the scene

So how does one return back after 7-8 months off. Injury, mentally demotivated, finding new sports-but I feel the time is now to return. I can kinda run for an hour or so....

I am going to hit the Go Home this Saturday for fun. Figure I will hike the Hanes 32 km event nice and slow. Gear up for some fall races and hit 09 recharged. I tried to force some early returns but it just sent me back even more. Just need to lose the 15 pounds I put on but I feel the break was great. 10 years of ultra running and this was the first break. My team has been doing amazing!! Gary, Ellie, Cheryl, Ryne and Aaron and I am ready to contribute again. Should be fun.

I started road riding, mt biking again, and even some racket sports! But the trails are calling, and I am going to answer. I think I'll stick to 50 miles or less in '09 but we'll see. Looking forward to seeing Gary continue to improve and I think the sky is the limit for him! Cheryl Beatty is the 50 mile National Champion and she does not even consider herself a runner.....hate to see what would happen if she did!

So if you need to carry me Sat am out there, please do!!!

looking forward to seeing you all.
