Make the best out of situations and push forward- that is what I have always tried to do in life.

I was actually starting to feel like I was really getting back in to the swing of things and was feelin energetic until I strained a muscle in my back practicing with the basketball team I help coach. That was on Friday night, 01 February, and I haven't been able to do much since. As it started to feel better I would try to run again only to be sidelined again. I feel like I'm at about 95% now so it won't be long now hopefully.
I have basically cancelled all race plans I had through the spring.
