Welcome

Hello fellow runners, I just started this blog a minute ago so over the next few entries I would like to introduce myself. I am 45 and am (as you can tell from my blog name) a Christian trail runner. I am not gonna take a lot of time to talk about myself now but would rather get a topic going with other runners. Yesterday I got a cortisone shot (my second) in my foot, to try to cure a bout of PF I have been suffering with for now close to 10 months. Up until I came down with this injury I had been running for about two years and had run two 50 mile trail runs and I had been looking forward to running a 100 miler in 2006. I had started running for a few reasons, 1) To stay healthy, 2) To combat depression and 3) To quit drinking alcohol. It worked until my foot injury, but now I have slid back from accomplishing my goals. I pray for God to help cure my injury and I pray this last injection will do just that. I would like to know what experience other runners have had with PF and cortisone injections, and how you have kept your walk with God strong through out your ordeal. Thanks...Tom
