  on Feb 21, 2012 in recovery comeback ING NYC Marathon
  Almost four months. That is how long it has been since I last posted. Did you miss me? Part of my absence has to do with some post-NYC Marathon blues. The other part has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that I have fallen from fitness. It’s not my...
