I had plans this year but I just broke myself. I'm probably sidelined for 5-6 months.

The plan was to start running this weekend, then in a few weeks, add some fairly rigorous day hikes in the hills above town. It's STEEP here. That should get me ready for backpacking, then hit that hard on weekends while running on weekdays all summer. Peak on opening day of deer season.

However, I popped a tendon under my left knee cap Tuesday rolling out of bed and I can't hardly walk to the front door. Last time that happened I was 5-6 months, doing physical therapy, before I was able to walk without pain, never mind run.

[bleep].

My guess ... if I behave properly, I'll be able to hobble around the woods by October but I'll be in horrible shape.

Well, maybe next year ...
