Personal:

Pine View High School class of 2008! (just graduated May 23). I became a runner my sophmore year when I started Cross Country and I have been running ever since. Ran XC and Track 3 straight years. I love road races and all that cool stuff.

I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Total Distance

3.50

Track practice started today, officially. I ran a warm up lap nice and easy and did all the agilities and stuff and my hip felt good. I started with everybody but watched as they left me and ran off into the distance. I ran easy and slow and it felt good. Leg didn't hurt but I felt kind of sore from not running for a week. Stretched good after the run.

I'll make sure to keep it easy and slowly get back into it. Talked with Coach and I'll probably run 3 everyday this week. I'm guessing the coreshorts/compression shorts will be here this week and they should help also.

My left knee got all fat this weekend and Rhett said I have "housemaids knee." It is really weird. He said something like I broke a bursa or Bursitis something and now it's all swollen. I have no idea what I did. It's not a big deal, just weird (and it kind of hurts). I'm getting old!

Glad that your hip is getting better so you can have an awesome track season this year! That is weird about your knee... I hope it doesn't hurt. Old old old! Hahahaha

Yes, my time is up. jk

It is actually starting to hurt now. RICE and drugs will help. :)
