Monday May 20th.

 "There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't." - John Green


A big fat nothing today... Still limping around and finding it hard to go up and down the stairs since yesterday's hiller run on the Mesa trail.  It actually feels worse than it did last week the day after the crash.  I decided to go get an x-ray just to rule out a hairline fracture.  Nothing is crack which is the good news.  




The bad news is that there is a bursitis that is where my IT band connects to my hip that is inflamed which can feel like a fracture to people.



Anyways... now I got to figure out what to do next for this could take 4-6 weeks to heal itself and Hardrock is 7 weeks away.  Once it calms down I am able to run flat stuff but if you throw in hills on my run I am limping for days.  Hardrock is nothing but hills, how do I pull this off?  I am getting to a point where I am getting exhausted mentally constantly battling an injury of some sort, and yes the achillies issue is still there as well but I have figure out how to manage it and the back is finally getting strong enough that I don't think about it much anymore and starting to trust it.  Maybe I will figure out how to manage this like the others?  Or is it better to drop from Hardrock, take a step back for 4-6 weeks, let everything heal and start over to get ready for Javelina in Oct?   I don't know..... I did drop from the Georgetown Burro race this weekend.   Here is more info on this injury if your bored and need something to read.
