I got a very sad email this evening from our friend the Black Knight who tells me

Yesterday I got home after 13 days in the hospital for a surgery to rebuild my thigh bone broken in 2 parts with pieces everywhere. It was (is) painful and boring.

I don’t know when and how I will be back to run but for sure I don’t surrender.

That's all I know. Perhaps you could hop over to his blog and leave some comment love well wishes. What a colossal bummer.
