Just heard from clients Kerri and Patrice congratulations on your 1/2 marathon accomplishments! You guys are awesome and tough for battling through the elements. I am glad we can share the feeling of joy running can bring you. Keep up the good work you guys make me proud.
It has been about 3 weeks since the Bear and my running has been gradual to say the least. I can run about an hour before ITband gets tight. Not to concerned it is improving and I have been through it before and I know there is an end to this silly injury. Here is the rehab stretching, strengthening routine I have been doing every morning. ITband Rehab
As you can see there is another race on the calendar! It is in Crystal Lake IL on trail! There is a 5 mile and a 10 mile option, I don't know which one yet.... but it feels good to have on the horizon. This weekend was camping with my Dad and Brother Nick in Middlefork IL. Awesome trails with beautiful foliage. I was telling my dad that as soon as we started hiking into the wild I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It was great to spend a weekend in the woods with the man who taught me to appreciate nature.

If I talked to you while in Utah, this is probably where I was. Spent a lot of time in this park taking in the scenery

Honey's view for the 24 hour car ride back to Illinois. She was a good sport I kept her happy by sharing beef jerkey. I take a bite, now you take a bite.....
