1 hour pool runing followed by the lifting exersizes. I have decided to take this recovery serious and follow an aggresive receovery with someone else's ideas instead of my own. this is the third workout of that program and yesterday I couldn't even complete the workout. I though I was in shape... My workouts will be focused on everything but the bad hip stabilizer and abductor on the right side, but a lot of flexibility stuff for those too. Whats up with all the jumping exersizes too? Crazy. Some other surprizing things that came back are: I have to lose 11 lbs, I have to be able to do 25 consecutive pull ups (I can do 15), My vertical leap is pathetic, I have amazingly weak hamstrings, I need to schedule and work towards a hard race in six weeks.

Good thinkin' there. This also might be a good time to go on that 100 percent wheatgrass juice diet.

How can you be a runner and have weak hamstrings? They are the main running muscle!

I was hoping you would read this. There are times when I want to blog stuff just to see how you respond.

I'm coming to do another gully run. Soon.

Hey, so are you Steve Austin in real life? "Steve Anderson will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, faster, stronger."

You really think so Jeff? I think he might be finished. It's time for someone else in Utah to pick up some master's wins.

Whenever I do my fifteen miler up to the golf course in East Canyon and I see those guys riding around in their carts, sipping cool beverages, I think maybe I chose the wrong sport.

Steve, I got to lose 11 pounds or more myself! I really think it's the main thing limiting my performances and keeping me from running times closer to my PR's. Good luck with the recovery. If you do lose 11 pounds you will be unstoppable in Master's running.
