Basketball season has started.  After a 4 month lay off to train for the marathon and not get hurt I was able to finally get up and go play this morning.  I was able to run up and down the court with pretty much no problems.

Dustin have you considered staying away from running a bit and focus on basketball. Then maybe the running with pain will heal. You still get the cardio.

Your a great basketball player it sounds like.

What do you think about the talented Miami Heat? The blockbuster deal could break if Wade is seriously hurt after the preseason game.

Thanks Kory hope things are going good in your recovery.

I enjoy basketball but would never just focus on that. I enjoy running too much to take too much time off. However, I am considering taking some time off from marathons. I really would like to improve my half marathon time, plus I just enjoy training for and racing that distance a little more than the full. My goal for next year is to break 1:15 in a half, so I just need to get in a lot better shape and find the right race.

Not sure what to think about the Heat. I don't think Wade will be out too long. I've never been a very big Lebron James fan, even though he is a great player.

I'm a big time Jazz fan, so I'm getting really excited for the season to start

I've also never been a Lebron James fan. I think he's a little cocky, but he does back it up with is play for sure.

I like the Jazz because their local they need to rebound with changes though on their team. But my passionate team has always been the Lakers since Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Michael Cooper, Sam Perkins, and Bryon Scott.

But I really liked them more so when they had Magic rather than Kobe. I think Kobe needs to be a better role model.

Dustin with my recovery I think I'm done with Marathon's and will only run Half's as well. But I probably will do one more marathon just to say I came back from a major injury.

Running is hard to let go.

Yeah I'm sure with your faith and desire you will be able to make it back someday to the marathon distance if that is in the plans or in God's plans.
