Ya can't run until you can eat

It's been a while since I've blogged... lots going on right now.
Anyway, I had my tonsils out and haven't been able to eat (and thus, run).  My dad had to do a couple of the long runs without me... of course he still had our running group.  The first week he was on his own turned out to be on one of the hardest routes of the season - the Parker run - and he ran 16 miles!  I was so proud!  Last weekend he ran 12 miles on a easier route and said it was "an easy 12 miles".  He doesn't know it yet, but that means he's addicted.  When you say "only twelve miles" and "an easy 12 miles" you are well on your way to running for the rest of your life - no turning back now!
This is my first week back running after my surgery, but I'm feeling pretty good.  Finally able to get soft solids down my throat, so I'm back! Got 15 miles in this week, and am shooting for 18 miles on tomorrows long run.  Wish me luck!
