Dear Oscar, I noticed you only ran 1.6 miles on June 26. That seems less than your usual distance. What gives? -- Distance Tracker

Dear Tracker,

I hesitate to even discuss this. Because it's really no big deal.

I mean, look at Patrice Bergeron, center for the Boston Bruins. He went to the hospital after Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final with a broken rib and punctured lung!

So a little sore paw shouldn't hold me back. Yes, I limped after a mile yesterday. Yes, I let Mark soak my paw in epsom salts. Yes, I'm enjoying some uncharacteristic R & R right now.

And, yes, I'll be right back out there before you know it!

Oscar
