BACK TO WORK

Man-I woke up this morning and my achilles is killing me.  It is swollen.  I decided to take the day off.  This week is State track so I am looking forward to that.

PM Went to WCCR tonight and ran on the treadmill.  I thought that my help the injury.  It is still there, but I got through it.  It stayed sore through the run, but didn't get so bad I needed to stop.  I decided to call Chad and get the massage therapist that works with him.  I go to see her tomorrow.

PM went to see the massage therapist today.  As I walked in she looked familiar, but I couldn't place her.  Anyway, she killed me.  I have never felt so much intense pain for a sustained period.  I was literally sweating when I got done from just enduring.  It really sucked, but I think it worked a little of the tightness out.  I could feel it all the way up my hamstring.

As I walked out I saw a picture of her when she was younger and I realized I had coached her in track at Pine View in '96.  It was very cool to see that she had continued running and making a living working with runners.

Got to Provo late tonight.  Stayed at the travel lodge.  I am excited to see how the kids are going to do. 

PM after the meet I got 5 in around the Y campus and back down Freedom Blvd.  I pushed quite hard, and the leg really held up.  Our kids are doing well in the meet.  Tyler Ott took state in the HJ and Porter took 5th.  Lets see how things go tomorrow.   

Am I flaked on the run today.  I decided to go watch the PV kids run the 3200.  They did really well.  I am impressed with that group. 

Hurricane ended up winning the Boys state title.  We took 5th and so I am somewhat pleased with that.  I think we can be in the top two next year with our group.  It stinks we lose Ray though.  Anyway, now I need to concentrate on the UV marathon.  I drove the course with dad and mom while we had our lunch break.  It looks pretty good, except at mile 8.  It is a good climb at the fork in the road, and at that elevation, it could really dampen the times.  I got to be strong and push through that spot.
