Well, I awoke this morning with full intent of going and running the race but after trying to take a run around my house I realized it was not meant to be. My hip was very sore and I am limping, its seems I have a pulled my groin muscle to go along with everything else that is falling apart... I am going to be taking some time off and I will blog from time to time but I don't know how much, I am very disappointed and disillusioned, enough said! The only thing that seems to help with the pain is to walk, so I will be doing that and maybe the elliptical but that even seems to aggravate it so I will do that just a little...

See ya soon!

Sorry to hear about the injury, I have had that one too. Let me know if you would like some of my scraping magic. Or any other help:)

Clay I'm real sorry to hear about injury situation. Hope maybe Josse and/or the doc can help you get back in the saddle without too much time or disappointment.

Take care.

I can't believe it! Oh I am so sorry! There is only one thing for a situation like this: chocolate. Good luck, buddy. Hang in there.

Hope the injury heals quickly. Take care of yourself and you will be back better than ever.

Sorry to hear about the injury, Clay. Get better soon so you can still come to St. George (hopefully).
