Things are healing up nicely

or at least it feels that way.  I ran a mile the other night on a treadmill - just enough to get warm.  Still some soreness there, but nothing worse than I've dealt with already.

In the meantime, I've spent a lot of time swimming.  And cycling.  I managed to talk my wife (thanks dear!) into not complaining too loudly about a new bike (actually, a bike, period, since I didn't have one until now).  It's a great workout and is filling in nicely as far as cardio is concerned.
