Sarah Burke

Ok for the masses out there curious to know how my left heel is faring in regards to my surgery September 27th. Well, I don`t know.

I ran for 25 minutes in my basement two days ago and that seemed fine, but the next day there was some pain for sure in the specific area where I had surgery, enough so that I was limping. I do not know what that means, but I do know that I did want to be running again by now.

Next surgery is February 2nd. Let`s see what happens to the right foot.

There has been much ado about Sarah Burke passing away. She was the great freestyle skier that had a fall in a training run and died a few days later surrounded by family. She was 29. Too young, too good and too enthusiastic about life. Too bad. Seriously.

You can contribute to a fund in her name - see the link at www.athleticsillustrated.com. The hospital bills from Utah (yes she is Canadian) piled up.

She transcended all sports.
