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.

Bad News: yesterday I was put on a 2 week break from running which basically ends my track season. My hip flexor still hurt yesterday so Rhett (physical therapist) said quit, no more running for two weeks. My hip just wasn't ever feeling better even after all the stuff I did so now I can't do anything that hurts at all. I feel really bad and it's hard to think about all of this. "Season Ending Injury" no fun. Coach Cappy still wants me to see a doctor but I think a doctor would just tell me stuff I already know. I trust Rhett, I don't know why he dosen't.

So today after talking with Coach Holt I descided to try and lift weights and ride the bike, to do anything that didn't hurt. All I did at first was look at that bike. I couldn't get myself to do it today, it just felt to hard. I did do a lot of lifting though with Sean, after he was done throwing. Well I'm done talking for now. The End for today.

Any pain while lifting? If not, keep it up and strengthen the legs however you can. Remember light weights, many reps.

Yeah getting comments is way fun, thanks for yours too, they're a good motivator that's for sure.

I usally put around 500 miles on my shoes, though they're always worn out about 50-100 before that. I'm just cheap and try to make them last longer than I should.
