Three weeks ago I slipped on ice while running and came within a hair's breadth of breaking my hip - an injury that would have ended my chances of becoming, in 2014, the oldest person to qualify for and complete both the Boston and New York marathons in the same calendar year. The injury, at my age, might have even ended my running career, such as it's been. Fortunately, the hip was badly bruised, not broken, and I was able to spend up to two hours a day cross training in my local gym. Now I'm back running and have logged 50 kilometers in the five days since last Thursday. My training is back on track, my depression has lifted and I am once again counting down the days to Boston.
