It's good to be home and back in a more normal routine. Until my foot is better it won't be totally normal though. I do think it is getting better and hope to be running again next week. I did officially withdrawn from the Mt. Charelston marathon yesterday. 

30 minutes arc trainer followed by core work.

Sorry about that. You have the best attitude during setbacks Rhett keep on cross training I hope you don"t need injection.

Hopefully you'll be running again in no time.

How's the foot?

From Rhett on Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 21:05:22 from 66.87.67.173

Dale. The foot is ehhh. But, I booked a room for Boston 2017 today so life is good. :)

Cool!

Boo for foot injury! Yay for booked hotel Boston'17. I did too even though I don't have

a BQ yet. Larry made me book it and it is the Revere Hotel (formerly Radisson). I also registered yesterday for the Mt. Charleston Marathon. We're taking our small motorhome and camping in Kyle Canyon. Just an excuse for a road trip or running addiction. I hope to see you and your friend then.

Hope your foot heals up quickly and nicely and you can RACE soon.

Smooth! It looks like there weather should be nice and cool next week so maybe you will get your BQ then. I really hope I get to see both you and Larry. Did Larry end up going to Boston with you? We booked a room at the Boston Park Plaza for next year. By yesterday night the places we had stayed in the past were already booked on marathontours. It is close to the finish line though.

Yes, Larry got the doctor's okay to travel. He wore a mask and used hand sanitizer frequently. He wasn't able to walk very far nor lift anything more than 15 lbs. But he did well with the amount of walking. He ate well, slept well and really enjoyed every bit Boston has to offer. He missed having Doone there to be his cheer buddy. The spot where they used to cheer at outside the foodcourt was cordoned off. I think they're remodeling the foodcourt; so it will be nice when you guys go next year.

I am not very confident that I'll BQ at Mt. Charleston. I am not in BQ shape, yet. At any rate, it'll be fun. And I hope we see you. We are driving down on Thur staying at a RV campground 2.5 miles from the start. Not firmed up yet on Fri. night's lodging. I will message Doone on FB our cell numbers. May be we can meet up on Fri.

Bummer!

From Rhett on Mon, May 02, 2016 at 09:39:19 from 24.121.249.174

Smooth, I'd love to meet up for dinner Friday night if you works in your schedule. Blake and I are probably going to be arriving in Vegas around 4:30 to 5:00 for his packet pick up. Maybe we could get Teena to meet up for dinner too. That would be a lot of fun. Doone gave me your cell # and Larry's so I contact you.

From Smooth on Mon, May 02, 2016 at 21:09:59 from 75.162.121.64

That sounds great! I have Teena's number, I'll give her a call. We'll be driving around in our 24'motor-home. It's about the size of a UPS truck.:)
