Let's see I quess the good news is that I was able to get my daughter moved in Las Vegas over the weekend. The bad news, I went for a run today to see if my leg is doing any better, by the time I reached my first mile it was just as sore and hurt just as much as a week ago. That is going on three weeks now, and during those weeks I have only managed to run three times.  I'm not even sure what kind of injury it is. Its a spot right on my buttocks left side, very painfull during and after my run. Does not seem to be healing very fast. At this point I would have to say SGM is a very remote chance of doing this year. My whole left leg is very weak and feels like it is going to give out at any moment. I will give this one more week amd make a final decesion for the marathon next week. Man this stinks.

My leg was very sore when I got up this morn. did my best throughout the day to try and do some streching. No running today, I did do 30 min. on the Nordic Track eliptical. My leg did'nt hurt at all while doing the eliptical. I also did some light weight training on my upper body and legs about 20 min. worth. I will continue to do the eliptical and streching, and run out on the road when my leg feels like it. I will give this another week maybe two to see if I notice any improvement. If I have to pull out of the SGM this year there will always be next year. Pray for me baby.

Ran on the eliptical today ground out 35 min worth of a workout, and I also did some light weight training on upper and lower body 20 min. I have also started taking some anti-inflamitory to see if this will help my leg. I will try and do a light run on Mon. and see how things go. If there is no improvement then I will pull out of SGM , hopefully get healed up and start to look towards Ogden Marathon in the spring along with my Bro. Clay. He is pulling out after the news he got at the doc's today. We both have worked pretty hard for SGM this past summer, it is kind of a downer, but there will be other opportunities to do SGM again. You work hard and sometimes it's a crap shoot to see if you stay injury free.

Did 35 min. on the eliptical, my leg might be a little better Maybe I will try a small run tomorrow just take it easy and see how things feel. My Bro. Clay backed out of SGM today. I feel bad for him he such a great Bro. It's hard to see his hard work and then to have an injury that side lines you for a while. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope that this week will see some improvement on my leg. If not wewill back out also and shoot for Ogden in the spring.
