Went to a Sports Therepist yesterday. It reminded me of the old song 'Bend me, shape me, any way you want me.' He said today I may be sore. He was correct. I've been off the crutches since Sunday, but I'm still in pain. I'm planning on trying to run a bit after work tonight. Truly the toughest 1/8 mile of my life. My right leg is numb. |

| Weirdest sensations in my right leg. I wanted to double my 'mileage' from yesterday, but I didn't want to relapse the recovery. Walked 2 miles, haven't had to use the crutches at all this week. Two weeks on crutches nearly drove me nuts. |

| My wife and I helped out with this race quite a bit. We developed the course and put it on the web sites. We had a great turn-out for a first year race, 162 pre-registered and more on race day. We had a 5k and 1 mile courses. In the 5K my wife, Dawn, took third in her age group. My 85 year old mother took first in the 60+ age group. I worked the finish line and was MC for the awards and drawings. We had great support from local businesses. It was a fun day. I'm slowly recovering from my injury and was able to run a mile. |

| I 'ran' the Ogden Marathon 5k with my 85 year old mother. This was the first run over a mile since April 13th when I was injured. I stayed with my mom until just over 2-1/2 miles, then I ran to the finish line. It felt good to be out there. I'm still struggling with sciatic nerve pain in my right hip and leg. My endurance has taken a big hit. My mom took 3rd in her age group (70+) behind two 71 year olds. She was the oldest participant of all three race distances. |

| Ran 2.5 trail miles in the Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs, CO.). The place is beautiful. I just wish I could run without pain. Injury recovery is slow, but I am progressing. |
