7 miles from Steam Mill Lake, summitted Double Top Peak, to Crescent Lake and down to the mouth of Steep Canyon. My body is finally feeling healed after a string of injuries.

First race since late October 2011 and it felt great to be back out there. It's been a year and a half of rehabbing a back injury, torn meniscus in my left knee and an ankle my podiotrist calls a 'war zone'. I took it easy on an out-and-back course that was uphill the entire second half. Only slight stiffness in my ankle, but no significant swelling. Can't wait for the next race.

To bad you have had so many things get injured. To to see you are able to run again.
