Another fabulous rest day! I spent the day driving my stepson down to Cedar City for a week long soccer camp, there was him and 5 of his friends which made for an interesting drive! After dropping them off I decided to drive another 40 miles to St. George for the simple reason that I heard that an In & Out Burger had just opened. So feeling a little depressed because I can't train, I decided to treat myself to a burger and then listen to the US open on my radio. It reminded me of when I would visit my Grandpa Jones when I was little and he would  be listening to baseball games on the radio, it was kind of cool.  I sure wish Rocco could have pulled it out, but tiger was just to much for him! I always like the under dog mainly because I feel like I have been an underdog  most of my life... After that I headed for home and had three hours to reflect on my injury and where I want to go from here, I still don't know what that is, but I will eventually figure it out! I had a good time on the way back thinking about life and how lucky I am, and I had my XM radio stationed on 70's music the whole way home and it was really relaxing and fun.

Well, that's about it!

See ya soon.

My leg is really starting to hurt now, it seems to be getting worse each day instead of getting better! It might be time to book an appointment with the doctor as much as I hate to admit it... I am limping and can barley walk which is a change from a week ago when walking seemed to help the pain and make it feel better, I don't know what is going on.

Someone help me please!

I coached my son Ethan's Baseball team yesterday, I filled in for the coaches that are out of town!  It was kind of fun but stressful but we were able to win, 8 to 3 so that was kind of cool... I also walked 9 holes of golf and shot 1 over par with two three putts and a sore leg to boot! I went and and soaked in my brothers hot tub for about an hour to see if it would help my leg, still no relief... I am going to call Dr. Brady who was recommended by Michelle and see what he can do to help me, hopefully good things will happen with the treatment. I have a three day golf tournament starting on Friday and it goes through Sunday, I just don't know how my leg is going to hold up but I will give it my best shot and see what happens!

See you later.
