Last day of orientation, classes start tomorrow!

Met with the trainer and rode the bike again today to continue to help my calf/soleus issue.

PT and weights, calf still bothering me.  Hope I can get this healed up soon.

First day of classes!

I went to see Rick and get some PT.   He adjusted my hips (off by an inch) and worked on my calf.  He thinks my calf could be related to my tender hip (from the labrum tear) and could be overworked.  Still making progress I think.

Did some PT and then ran with the team, about 3 miles.  Did ok, a bit sore at the end.  Working it, do not think I will run at UVU.

We are running on Friday the Montana Invitational in Missoula!  My first college XC meet. Coach is trying to get things arranged for the team to run at the Fort Hays Tiger Open on October 13 as well.  Most RMAC teams running there.

My roommate was sick for a few days last week, I started feeling under the weather yesterday.  Going to take it easy so I can run on Friday in Missoula.

Still sick, not getting much better.  Looking like I will miss this race too as I am ill and do not want to infect the team either.  Bummed.

Still not feeling well and the team did not want me infecting the bus, so I stayed home from today's race in Missoula.  Bummed but need to get over this stuff.
