Injuries are so cool right now...

Is it just that we are all pushing harder with the summer season upon us or is it just plain bad luck? It could be one, the other or both... all I know is that I checked my favorite blogs after being gone for a few days swimming, canoeing and camping with Susan and friends at Blue Ridge Reservoir (yes, we had tons of fun!) and injuries from running were all I seemed to be reading about.

Anton Krupicka wrecked his knee running...

My mom tweaked her calf running...

and... my wife, Susan, has a bit of a tweak in her foot (mystery reason...) and friend and coworker, Jeff Snyder, messed up his left foot falling off a boulder problem.

Bummer! I especially feel for everyone as I am still waging a battle with my own tweaked foot.

As of today, my foot is still resting (7 days without running as of today) but I am hoping to test it again with some super easy runs in the next few days. I have my fingers crossed for the foot to respond well as I try to get some miles going again (for the second time in three weeks)... and I have my fingers crossed with big time positive thoughts for everyone else I know or read about that have jacked themselves up lately. Here's to some speedy recoveries!!!

On a positive note... looks like people are running the loop on the San Francisco Peaks. The season is on for running on the mountain! Just got to get the foot happy...

Positive thoughts!!!!
