I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- 8 running miles with Paul and Cody. I think it's my first time running with them since before Christmas. Cold (15 deg F) and very foggy/smoggy out, but I didn't notice much. Hips felt generally good, though the left side started nagging a bit the last few miles. 3.5 weeks since my injury, 3 weeks till my race- hopefully I can continue to recover.

PM- 13 cross training miles while watching the second half of the Cardinals-Saints game. Hopefully the next 3 games will be better than this one was.

Pace 2 Miles: 8.00

Weight: 0.00

At this point healing is more important than more training. Probably should back way off the last two weeks.

True, and I also have the dilemna of trying to get my legs used to running/pounding again, which means I need to run some. This week will be harder, then 2 easier weeks.

Good job Jon. Continue to bring it around. I'm pumped for your race so that means you have to do it:) Good luck with the next weeks of healing.

Glad to hear you're hips are getting better. I hope you recover in time for the race.

Welcome back to the party. Glad to see you are running again. Hope you recover continues to improve.

If your progress continues at the same rate I think you will fly through those 100 miles when the time comes.
