| Well tonight I got my first massage ever. Steve has been raving about this person for over a year now and I decided to give it a try. After all Steve in the gooroo on massage and he states that it made him the man he is today. (Bald middle age man with a slight speech impediment!) The massage guy brings it to your door. You call and he will travel! He shows up! 6 ft guy with bicep’s bigger then my waist! (I am a dead man) He tells me to lie down on the table and relax. (Let the pain begin) I immediately go back to the war days and tell him only my name rank and serial number! This is going to be the most painful hour I have had in long time. It feels like he is scrapping down my legs with a roller. Scrapping away the muscles off the bones. After the legs he goes for the back and neck. I feel like a helpless child being controlled by a stranger! It felt like a truck running over me that stops right on top. I gasp for air! And wonder if I will ever run another marathon! The man smiles as I hold back the tears and cringe at every pressure point. He told me I was a mess! I am now! Holy cow! Bring in the wheel chair! And the oxygen machine and the painkillers. |

Here is my race report for the St. George Marathon. It was a mild cold day at the start of the race. People were running all over the place trying to stay warm. Music was blasting and I was stoked just to be a part of it. I stayed with Dustin at his cabin in Pine valley the night before the great Race. I picked up Steve from the Expo and drove up around 10 pm. As usual we were pretty much up and down all night. We got up at 6 am and drove over to the marathon! The gun sounded and off we went. Mile one I was having a sharp pain coming from my lower back. I tried to stretch it out. I was maintaining a 6:40 pace as planned. I stopped at the first aid station and had a guy give me a bear hug to see if he could pop it. I stopped at several aid stations and had them try to pop my back but each time with no success. I tried sports cream. My left leg was going numb. My form and stride was completely out of wack. I managaged to hold a 6:50 pace the first half but after that my pace and time quickly deterated. My calf’s felt like exploding and I knew at this point my goal of under 3 hours was dashed. I observed the ambulance go bye several times and thought about having a DNF on my record. I decided that I was going to finish. I was not going to let this win. I run many races each year and i realize I will have a bad race once in awhile. This was one of those. Finished around 3:30. Just behind grandpa and walker brigade!
Thinking back J this may be the cause of my problem at this marathon.
- I hurt my calf two weeks before Marathon. Tapered more then I should have. To recover from injury. Body did not respond well to running again?
- I had a full body massage (Deep Tissue) Weds first massage I have ever had.
- It was colder then normal. I was not use to the cold!
- Back was simply out and it made the difference.
I would like to say I loved this experience. But it was the most painful Marathon I have ever Ran thus far. #4. I am looking forward to another race at another date. |

| I went to the chiropractor who put me on a table and did some funky things with the table. He then proceeded to put some electrodes on my back and slowly turned up the power until I cried uncle. He left the room as my back muscles were twitching every which way. (Is that smoke I smell?) Is the man coming back? He told me my back was a bit messed up and that I cannot run for the rest of the week. Boo> I am use to the guys on the club telling me I cannot run, but the chiropractor! Instead of running I went and finally watched Harry Potter. The movie is a bit over my head so I will need someone to explain it to me some day! |

| I showed up to run Saturday Morning and i got stood up by my running friends. Thank goodness because i tried to run a mile before they got there and I ran like an old Grandpa. Nothing seemed to work. It was like put a sign on my shirt that says "out of order" I went to the gym and did some stretches and staionary bike for an hour. I think I need to get back into doing something every day. My body wants to be lazy! |

| I had to put this under easy miles because there was not a catagory for painful miles. I ran my old pregarmin ten mile course around the black hill. I feel like i am out of shape! Body is still very slow! |

| Hip abductors are very sore. Very difficult to run . I ran a slow mile in pain and went to the gym and got on the hip abductor machine to see if I could work them loose a little. Put on minimal weight and tried to stretch them out. I am not recovering like I thought I would. But hopefully things will come back soon. |

| Some people do it better in the dark. But i got to tell you i have to see what is in front of me before I Trip! I Got up at 5:45 AM and Did some speed work at the track. Met up with Kristy and Dawson. After a decent warm up, We ran 5 x 800. Still feeling slow and sluggish. I feel i am putting in the effort but my speed has split town. I run like a man that wants to get cought? My splits were like 3:19. I felt pretty sore the last 800. |
