Much has gone on from getting older, daughters graduation party, to thoughts of changing work, finding out I actually had 3 injuries at once and one still nags me. I need to re-evaluate my actual goals from what I want. I feel like, I am not even sure. Hope everyone here is doing great.

8 out of the 11 people I track on the blog are struggling with injuries right now. I don't know what's up with that?

Life changes quickly, stay focussed on the real goal and all will be in perspective.

Love God, Love People :-)

IJR,I wouldn't mind so much if I had a timetable, this on and off leaves me lacking.

I usually focus well... Change is the only constant. I love God as you know He loved us first :)

Sorry about the setback. I have had a closet case of PF for about 6 months (IJR - 9 of 11?) that is starting to worry me. Also been looking for a new job ever since I started this one! Anyway, my point is we're with ya, stay strong!

Joe- PF can hurt, get some golf balls. Thanks for the encouragement

Bummer, I hear you about getting older. I haven't quite come to terms with it myself. If I had I wouldn't be trying to get PRs like I am a senior in high school.

Sometimes we need to literaly just keep putting 1 foot in front of the other and eventually everything works it way out. Hang in there!
