August is a time of new beginnings. At the end of the month Cara
and I are traveling to Norway where I'm planning to run a
half marathon
in the part of the country from whence the Wogslands hail.
Telemarks Tøffaste they call it, in an obvious bid to
incite the viking machismo. So naturally I went out and pulled
my achilles tendon on the trail Saturday, which I didn't realize
until Sunday. Initially I thought I'd just bruised my heel on
something, but it kept getting worse until this morning I could
barely walk. That is, until I did some stretching.
