Denial.

I've purposely avoided this blog for the last couple weeks because reading it makes me jealous.

I haven't run since, uhh...mid-January. I'm combating something pretty major in my hip; (major enough that I'm hoping to get a referral for an MRI tomorrow.) my physical terrorist dad thinks that a labral tear or avascular necrosis are the two most likely offenders, although I'm really hoping I just messed up a ligament or something.

So, I haven't voluntarily abandoned the Sweaty Sanderlings -- but my dysfunctional body has forced a (hopefully short) breach in my loyalties.
