I went to Riverton High School track and did a warmup on the track with Misty as she wanted to do a speed workout. My left leg is killing me and I kept running thinking it would loosen up and go away and it didnt so I made 2 miles on the track and then stopped, stretched and went and laid down in the car until Misty was done. Its weird, it kind of feels like arthritis, I stretched and I dont feel any muscles or tendons that are in the area. I will ice and rest today and maybe see if I can run tonight.

You beat me to the blog again! Take care of your leg and hopefully it is nothing serious. Good luck!

From Jon on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:06:07

Get better before the half!

From Lucia on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:11:56

Please don't get injured Wall-e! Who's going to run for me if you get injured???

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:28:46

Jody, I beat you because my miles were weak!

Jon Im icing as I write. I think I bumped my miles up to quickly.

Chlorine bottoms- Its not over till the pool gods sing. Im sure I can find a volunteer to run for you. Im hoping that its nothing. I need a massage, my muscles are sore, so it may be a bit of tendonitis.

From Camille on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:24:01

Sorry about the leg! That's such a bummer. Hopefully it will loosen up and you can get out there again!

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 12:03:50

Thanks Camille, Im still thinking its not serious. Im going to keep ice on it and take some Ibuprophen. What can you do?

From Michelle N. on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 13:47:18

Bummer Wally-Read my entry for today and you will see that I feel your pain. For me, I'm wondering if all the hills I've been doing is what is killin' me but then again I am running a ton so who knows. Last time this happened to me my Chiropractor fixed me right up. He's good.

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 14:13:32

Geesh, you bunch of wimps!

KIDDING! I crashed immediately yesterday, you guys just took a little longer. I better not come back here later and see that you went out running again.

TAKE IT EASY!

(Good thing we no showed---we would have pushed you a LITTLE harder than that!)

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 14:24:36

Michelle, I read it and im sure everyone is feeling some soreness today. Lets all heal up, massage up and be ready to dominate on saturday!

K dog- (no offense with the slander) Yeah, I probably wouldnt have wussed out with a couple more people to push me this morning. Then Id come home with more pain but more miles to put on the board right!?

From camilla on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 14:35:06

My name gets me into trouble sometimes! I figured that people would get confused with that one! haha, but that is great that you are coming up to do the TOU! Logan is so beautiful and if I was really ready for it, I would run it too. Some people on here have said that I should do it and then be more competitive in the Moab half in October but I haven't really decided. I will take it one run at a time I guess! Sasha is such a help on here! He knows pretty much everything! thanks for the comment!

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 14:51:55

It is a really scenic run and it is on the USA Circuit of races this year so its going to be a barn burner as far as competition goes. They have great prizes afterwards too. You should come out. I think you can still register at Als sporting goods. I do like Logan area too! You can use this run as a long run to get you ready for future races. If you show come talk to us we will be in the same outfits as is on my picture. Sasha will be there and Jon who lives up there and Paul and Cody and maybe more, we'll have to see. Good luck!

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 15:12:05

OH! I like my new nick name!

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 15:37:07

I try are you still home! Of course im talking about myself!

From Lucia on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 15:42:27

Wall-e, you are stealing my "thing" - giving people nicknames is my thing! Ok, I'll share it with you... May I suggest "K-Dawg" as opposed to "K-Dog"? Kelli, your thoughts?

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 15:56:23

Yes, Kelli, I think K-Dawg is definately less masculine. lol Sorry Big L you got me going! Im not trying to steal anyones vibe here. Just taking us out of the robot mode that we get into!

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 20:49:26

It fits, since I listen to GANGSTA rap!! Really, it is more Hip-hopppish rap, but I can be GANGSTA!

From walter on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 21:26:25

If im going to be wearing bling, I think Wall-E is a bit Disneylandish. I dont want to be laughed at! Ive got a reputation to withhold here.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 21:04:03

Still waitin' for Thursday's run and injury report.

And do not worry, I have ordered your BLING! We could call you Waldo, but that is even worse. Wait, you do kind of look like that "Where's Waldo" guy!

From Lucia on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 21:10:20

Waldo is an awesome nickname for wall-e!!! Nice work Kelli! I've turned you all into the best nicknamers ever!

From Jon on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 21:24:47

No worries about the shoes and shorts. See you Sat.

From walter on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 21:57:07

Lucia, good lord no that is not a good nick name, I would rather wally or wall-e.

Jon, Im going to do a little run after I click enter here and Ill see you sat. if it kills me.

From walter on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 21:59:04

Kelli, same goes to you for the love of all that is decent and holy do not use that nick name. Ill do anything for erasing this conversation guys!
