....The Return

There has been much to celebrate in the past few weeks: the holidays, time with families, the worldwide phenomenon - Wiz Khalifa, the dawning of a new era in marathoning/blogging aka MaT: the list goes on.

However, the question on everyone's lips throughout this holiday season has been, "Where's Gordon?"

After missing several blog post opportunities, the running community began an outpouring of concern the likes of which have never been seen.

Sadly, the initial concerns turned to disgust as Gordon, first seen as a victim of some unknown circumstance, was villified by the MaT media as nothing more than lazy and, possibly, feminine in his sloth.

After being laid up for several days with an actual yeast infection he was shocked to find the truth of his, admittedly embarassing, illness splashed across the front pages of, none other than, MaT.

After this fiasco, many doubted that he'd ever make a return to the blogosphere. "He's dead to me," wrote John L. Parker in the famous one sentence op-ed piece on Letsrun.com.

Well, I'm just here to say, the world is full of haters, but I never let that stop me from doing me. I'm back.
