Total Distance

5.00

It is difficult to accept, but I must. I am in injury limbo. I have neither speed or distance ability at present. I desire so much to run the mountain trails above Farmington but I know the descents would wreck me.

I will take a week off, then come back and see how it feels. Time to get on the bike.

I have 3 months until Speedgoat. As soon as I am all put back together I will train to win and I mean win. Why train for anything less? I am going to get lean and fast.

Five 'smorning around the nesting ponds.

Wow, throwing down the gauntlet. I like it. I understand it is part of the Ultra Skymarathon Series now so there should be some good competition from across the pond. I'll be pulling for you.

Bummer man, heal up. Taking the week off will help and won't hurt. You'll be as strong as ever.

You better heal up so I have someone to spoon with down at Zion.

You know I would like nothing more than to spoon with you in Zion Canyon.

Taking some time off will definitely help. Heal up so you can attack Speedgoat with me.

What's wrong exactly Matt? Hope you are okay!

Lily, during and after my really easy and casual 5 mile run Saturday, I had a serious pain in my foot and knee. Probably ITB and hopefully not plantar f-itis. Freaking hell I hope not.
