2006 Off and running [slowly]

2006 started off quickly with several early January runs, but I developed shin splints that slowed me down for 3+ months. What a drag, as I was hoping to start off with the Mississauga and National Capital Marathons. In the process of physio, I learned about some good shin and leg exercises and the proper type of shoes I need. So, after orthodics and physio at the excellent Human Performance Centre at the University of Guelph, I got back on the roads and trails in April. Started off slowly, but now am doing well. I have been to the first two 5 Peaks.com events with running partner and family friends Patrick, Suezanne, and Elise. At Rattlesnake Point, my Emma, Jacob, and little Isabelle, and Elise Warren ran in the kids race: Emma won, Jacob paced himself well, and Issy's smile was a crowd pleaser!

So, now I am getting ready for the Friendly Massey Marathon on the 16 July, as a "training" marathon. Pat-Pat will do the half. Should be fun!
Chris.
