2 week total:  17.5 miles running.  I was on a Caribbean Cruise from December 21 to 28 and did manage to finally get back to some easy running.  The left leg continues to be sore.  If the pain level is 3 or less on a scale of 1 to 10, then I will try running.  Usually it will get better after a mile or two.  I feel a bit more sore than I did a week ago from the week of running, but also the travel day on airplanes and handling luggage takes a toll on the sore leg as well.
