Short-Term Running Goals:

Take it easy this summer and fall while I try to build my mileage without injury (for a change).  Pick up the intensity as I start marathon training.   Run Boston with my wife A'Lissa in '09.  Run a sub 20 minute 5k in '09.

Personal:

47 years old, married to A'Lissa (who is faster than me) for 20 years, 3 fantastic kids.  Our twins, including Thatcher who has a blog here, start BYU in '08.  I'm a USATF level one coach and am a volunteer assistant with the Skyline XC team.  A'Lissa and I are race directors for the Fill the Ark 5k in East Millcreek.

I saw Dr. McIntyre today.  Even before the appointment I knew my injury was not as bad as I initially feared, as the pain had largely dissipated by this morning.  But, I decided to go anyway, largely so I could have him also look at my hip.  The injury last week on the treadmill isn't the soleus, as I thought, but to another muscle next to it, the name of which I can't remember.  It is healing and they gave me some exercises to strengthen it.  As for the hip, I am out of alignment and he gave me several stretches and exercises to fix the problem.  He asked me to not run for 2 weeks while working on the hip realignment, so that will also give my calf time to heal.
