Well my leg is extremely sore and I think initial injury is on the mend, but I think yesterday I must of pulled my Groin again because that seems to be giving the most trouble this morning... I ran up to the top of my hill, which is about 50 yards, and then realized that running is not an option. I will rest for the remainder of the week and see if it improves, but I'm not real optimistic. I only have 11 weeks of real training left for SG so the window is closing, I know that this will heal but I am at the point that I am losing my desire to try and make it to SG and I really just want to get healthy. I will use the E-Stem machine tonight to see if that will help but I really think at this point that rest is the best medicine. Things could be worse I could be like Ted and really be out for awhile, in fact he is the only reason I got up and tried to run this morning...

So more rest, and please pray for my wife as she has to deal with my bad attitude and all the other stuff that goes along with me being injured:-)

I need to change my blog name to "Hefty Hunk of Junk" cause that's what I feel like!!!

Clay dang I'm sorry to hear things didn't go better today. Man life just isn't fair sometimes but like you pointed out, it's not too hard to find someone dealing with something worse.

Good luck with everything...including the bad attitude, I do believe I completely understand :)
