[...] am still trying to fight my way through this lame injury that keeps dragging on, and have been desperately yet gradually trying to ramp up my mileage. [...]

Londell/Matt – thanks for the encouragement, that honestly helps. Thats a really good point that I should stay positive about walking, and not overlook the advantages of a good walking base for ultras. I will keep that in mind as I make my comeback.

There is no reason at this point to throw Superior out the window. If anything, you won’t be overtrained.

As Londell said, your ability to walk is just as important as your ability to run.

See what the spring brings.

You had a decent base to run TCM, so the rest is not as bad as you think.

I think it is completely still in the cards.

I know this is frustrating as I also battled issues. Dianne Farmer finished the 100 a few years back with only walking fast as training. I went through 3 months of rehab with only walking but I got my walking time down to 15-16 minutes a mile. So if you can walk, keep the base, you will be surprised how much it will give you a great head start?

Good luck.
