It's About Time Update

OK OK I know that I have slack off from my blog the past couple weeks and have a lot to update. But first OFF, Happy Valentines day tomorrow. I know that without all the LOVE and Support from my personal Cheerleader and Wife, I would not be where I am today. I love ya Sweetheart. Hope we all take the time to thank and cherish those closest to us.

Now to the running. For the past three weeks, while being limited on my running per doctors orders, I struggled with the fact that I couldn't run. I started to attend spin classes at the Washington Community Recreation Center. Never in a million years, did I think that I would find any Joy in sitting on a bike. LET ME TELL YA NOW, I'm a total believer and I love it. I have been going 3-4 times a week and doing limited running on the track following the spin workout. I know i wasn't supposed to do tons a running but i kept it to 2-3 miles at a time. Well last week, Dr Stewart cleared me for running following a second injection of cortisone to my foot. I have had to wear an air cast which has an air pocket that sits in the arch of the heel, taking pressure off the planter fascia. There is absolutely no fun in getting a shot to the foot, but so far it is working well. Now that I have been given the total green light from light workout, I have planned to run the Dogtown Half Marathon in 2 weeks followed by my first ever relay as I run lake to lake relay. So far things are looking really well. Yesterday, I took to the course of the upcoming half marathon and was able to knock out 11 miles without a lot of stress to my foot. I felt awesome. the first time in almost 5 months. I swear that spin has made a huge difference. from this point on, I am going to be a spin addict along with running. Oh yea..... Good times.


OK to the WAY AWESOME NEWS: I am going to be running the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay in June from Logan to Park City. It is a relay that runs day, night and then day and cover 200 miles. It is made up of a 12 person team each covering 3 legs roughly 12-18 miles in total distance. I Cant wait. I have made some changes to my racing schedule. Take a look, the new additions are in Red. Should be a great running season. Thanks again for everyone support. It means a lot to me.
