--------------------------------------------------------
Foot--In November I rolled my right ankle pretty badly (in the morning). I spent the rest of the day driving around looking for a house. Since I was driving all day, my ankle was jacked up pretty badly. Since then, I haven't been able to run very much on it at all due to the pain.

Boston Marathon--Since my foot and ankle are still messed up, I decided to postpone running the race until next year. This will be the first time in 6 years in a row that I haven't been able to run Boston. I'm really, really sad, but that's just the way it worked out.

Focus--Because I haven't been able to run very far/long, I need to focus on pure foot speed. I would really like to run a great 5K this summer.

Flexibility--The past few months have been very hectic: moving to Georgia from Utah, crazy-busy new job, holidays and traveling, 6 weeks of training all over the place, and a foot injury. I am doing a terrible job juggling everything. Flexibility is a lesson one in the Air Force needs to learn sooner than later, but I am still struggling to figure it out. It's all about priorities and balance, but it's easier said than done...
