Shiny Side Up!

Well, here we are months down the road and I've gone against my word yet again!

Christmas was a really fun time. I went to Iowa with Amy to spend Christmas with her family. It was a great time. Her family is a farming family and lives basically in the middle of no-where. When say farming, I mean legit farming. The same farm has been in the family for generations and looks as though it will continue that way. It was really cool to step out of the city and go somewhere much more laid back and my style. Plus got to ride in a tractor to feed cows and cruise around on a 4-wheeler, so how could it be a bad time??

Arriving back in Scottsdale it was go time. Everyone got into town in time for our first workout on Jan 3. It was really great to see everyone again, plus a few new faces as well.

As far as "go time" is concerned, I was having great success until about a week ago. I was very pleased with how my sessions were going. I was/am miles ahead of where I was last year at this time. And then out of no where, my achilles starts acting up. I have never in my time running had a issue with my achilles. I still haven't fully sorted out what the issue is. I'm hoping within a couple days to pin-point it and get it sorted out as I have resgistered for and booked flights to the Husky Invite in Seattle on Feb 10.

Here is to hoping! To quote my good friend Sean Van Der Lee, I just need to keep the shiny side up.
