Woke up this morning and my heel still really hurts but the pain is probably down about 20-30% from yesterday. I am rolling my foot on the trigger point ball as I type this. I am pretty sure I can work this out this week....hopefully.

I am feeling a little better about things even though winning the Grand Slam is probably toast now. I was 13 seconds out of first going in to Saturday and I was a little ahead when this happened. Now I am about 15 minutes behind with only 2 races (Park City and St. George) left to go. I will just do my best and will still win my age group.

I have decided to cancel the 40-mile Ultra that I was going to do on June 27th and I have yet to register for Deseret News. I have run Deseret News for 8 straight years and I was hoping that this would be the year I could finally run a "good" one. I will decide by the 4th of July. It is not that important a race for me.

I want to thank everyone for their positive comments.......you guys in the blog are the BEST!!!

Oh, by the way.......I WILL be back!!! (See...I'm feeling better about things :-)
