Where's Ross Been?

I haven't posted in months which also means I haven't run in months. It started out as normal winter. I stopped running in the harsh New Hampshire winter but I was still to playing tennis and basketball. I also decided to take a break from blogging because I didn't want to be labeled an Obama hater. I was filled with anger over the election and decided I'd ride out the storm and blog later when he screws things up. Even I didn't think it would only take 7 weeks to be a disaster.

Well towards the end of winter it all went wrong! I woke up with a very stiff back and haven't been the same since. I've been dealing with Dr's, MRI's, physical therapist and a chiropractor and I'm still not able to do much more than a long walk.

It seems that I have some significant spine issues that were years in the making so there is no quick fix. The good news is that I can be fixed and I don't need surgery. I have become really depressed lately, not being able to run Boston's Race to Remember half marathon is killing me.

So here I am! I have decided that I need to start blogging again, only this time it won't be about great runs through Mine Falls, it will more likely be about a 15 minute walk on the treadmill. Not to exciting especially compared to my friends on sweat365. But my hope is that blogging about it will jump start me mentally and hopefully soon the the walking will return to running.

So here goes- When I get healthy, I'm going to make a comeback of dramatic proportions! I'm going to be better than ever!! That's my goal and my health care team thinks it shouldn't be hard to achieve, after all I'll be working out with a healthy spine!

Thanks for listening!!
