Racquetball again again

Played racquetball with my son after I picked him up from school today. All three games were hard fought and he won the 3rd game, 11-9. I am so PROUD of him I could puke, and he is so happy, its one of those parent moments that totally kicks ass. He got a victory smoothie afterwards and we did the jacuzzi thing, sometimes being dad is so cool. After that went to watch my daughter cheer at a route of MP in basketball, which was cool, but she pretty much ignored me, which was a drag. Sucks that the kids can't both be cool at the same time, eh?

I went to the doctor yesterday, apparently I have a stress fracture of my left tibia and need to get a MRI to see if I need surgery or not. He told me not to do any cardio except swimming and recumbant bike for now, absolutley no running. I'm going to follow orders for the time being, but I refuse to stop playing racquetball with my son, and we played 3 games tonite at the gym.

Gym racquetball

This morning I signed Jordan and me up for memberships at Pure Fitness, then we played some indoor racquetball. It should be alot easier now to get out to play now. We also hit range balls at Shalimar in the afternoon.

Taliesin Overlook

After work today drove over to the Lost Dog Trailhead at 124th St. to run a 4.20 route up to the Taliesin overlook. It rained the entire time, but it was beautiful on top. About 1 mile on the way back down I reinjured my left calf climbing up out of a wash, and had to limp the mile or so back to the car, what a drag. Good thing I have a doctors appt. on Monday.

At lunch today drove to the 104 Street trailhead parking lot, and ran the approx. 6.0 mile loop along Quartz trail to Taliesin trail by Lost Dog pass, down Taliesin to Westworld trail and back up Quartz to the starting point. This was an awesome trail run, much harder than I expected, particularly on the Quartz part, and made for a FABULOUS lunchtime.

Gym

Went to the gym yesterday at lunch, did elliptical and core exercises.

Cactus bridge

Tried something a little different at lunch today. Drove up to Horizon park and ran from there to the canal bridge by Cactus, approx. 5.9 miles. Entire route off of pavement to save my legs a little wear and tear.
