"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Leg is still about the same, which is really worrisome considering I haven't run for over a week. I am going to see Dr. Brady tomorrow who was recommended by Michelle so hopefully he can get me on the right track and get it feeling better! I am in the middle of playing the Art City Am Golf tournament this weekend and I have one more day to go, I shot 75 yesterday but played a lot better than that I just didn't didn't make a lot of Birdies... I only had one three putt but I didn't make a lot of long ones either so hopefully I will do better today. My hip and leg have bothered me all three days of playing and if truth be told I probably shouldn't be playing but I can't miss this one! On Friday in the Doug Oldroyd Memorial I shot 76 and just finished out of the money, I had 3 three putts that really hurt me and I missed a few medium length birdie putts that I should have made but I just didn't stroke them good. My leg is really bothering me today so I don't know what kind of score I will shoot today, I just hope its not to embarrassing and I can finish with a respectable score!

I really need to get this leg healthy, my running is what helps me deal with all the stresses in my life, golf will only go so far and I think playing is just aggravating the injury, I have taken some long rides on my motorcycle which has been kind of nice but I need to get back to running as soon as possible.

I will see you later!

I went to Dr. Brady yesterday and he worked me over pretty good, Acupuncture and electroshock on my thigh and some pretty heavy duty massage in that area was in order. I'm going back on Thursday for my second visit, and he said I might be able to run as soon as Saturday but that will depend on how I am doing on Saturday... I have had about enough of this injury and I just want it to be gone and over with, I can't go much longer with out training and still feel like I can give SG a good shot. Any suggestions on how much longer I can go before I am to the point of no return as far as training for SG goes, anyone, anyone, Bueller, anyone!

See ya soon!

I decided to go and run walk a mile with my wife to see how the hip would feel and much to my dismay  it has not healed at all, I was suppose to go to Dr. Brady again this morning but I had an emergency at work and had to cancel. I ended up doing 30 minutes on the elliptical to see if there was any pain doing that and there wasn't so I guess my options are the elliptical and I just don't know if I can do that, its just to darn boring!!! But I think I need an attitude adjustment because right now I am not motivated at all! I am struggling at home with some stepson issues and I just don't know what I am doing at this point, I can't run, I can't play Golf, I might go fishing on Saturday and think it all over and then go from there!

This month is a total loss just looking at my calender, pretty discouraging:-(

See ya later.

No training yesterday and probably nothing today, maybe the Elliptical later and I might do some strength training as well later but it depends on time. I am going fishing tomorrow with my son Ethan, should  be a fun time, he is real excited!!! Next week I am going to start doing the Elliptical every day and then strength train like crazy on my leg and see if I can get it better so I can run. I might see Dr. Brady again next week or I might not, I might have to take this into my own hands and fix it if that's possible because nothing seems to be working! Its been three weeks since I have done any real running and it has not healed at all, so I am going to try some strength training on it and see what happens, laying off hasn't seemed to help at all!

Well enough of my complaining, Strawberry here we come!

Later.

I went fishing with my son Ethan today we went to Strawberry Res. good time was had by all! We had pretty good success, in fact Ethan kicked my butt 3 to 2... My leg and hip are still giving me problems, but I have had time to reflect on everything and who knows maybe I won't ever lace up those running shoes again, and I think that would be alright with me. I mean there are more important things in life than worrying about if I will heal in time to train for a marathon and so forth. I wonder if I could get any cross training miles for catching 5 fish with my son, or at the very least 500 commando points from Brent, I know this sounds like a commercial;  spending the day fishing with my son, "Priceless"!

I'm out!
