OH, you KNOW I ate more than you. In fact, as disgusting as this is to admit, I weigh 9 pounds more than I did when i got up this morning. 9!!!!

I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas and I am glad that you are doing "better."

Lol now that made me laugh. You got me by 3. Thanks for that and Christmas was indeed very merry. Missed our eating banter Kelli, hope you and the family are great!

From Kelli on Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 20:32:30 from 67.172.235.55

Yeah, I do not blog much, work and life keeps me busy lately! And next year will be full time instead of part time so who knows when i will even run! But, no worries, I WILL find time to eat.

How is the injury coming along? For some reason I thought you were better. Was there a set back?

From Dan on Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 20:46:24 from 24.209.83.20

Wow, full time, congrats! I know you though, you always find time to run :-) yeah, the quad area just won't heal right. At the point where I need an MRI, but just can't swallow the cost so I'm just running in pain/ache/annoyance/fine depending on the day.

Funny though, I still eat like I run :-)

From Kelli on Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 20:57:37 from 67.172.235.55

The eating never stops.

I am sorry it is still bothering you. That is not fun at all. MRI's are ridiculously expensive! My husband had one to confirm his hamstring tear (or something like that) and i was VERY annoyed!!!!

From Dan on Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 21:01:31 from 24.209.83.20

Thanks. I get annoyed because other than right after a marathon, I never got sick when I ran heavy miles. I've been sick twice this winter and bad flu once. I know if I was running like before I'd be fine. That's okay though, I know I'm very blessed and there is a reason behind it :-)

Dan, good to se you are to somewhat keep up the running. You definitely deserve some instant healing! Hope you had a merry Christmas.

From Dan on Wed, Dec 26, 2012 at 22:19:42 from 24.209.83.20

Thank Joe, we did, stay warm in that snow!
