I have returned from what seems to be my annual disappearing act of grafting season at the nursery. Grafting is my nursery and has a limited time period to get done. If the buds start to break, I'm done whether I want to be or not. I did get shut down a couple of days early this year. I seem to start late too many years and this year I set a new personal best for starting late. Anyway I finished on Sunday and I am getting back to a normal life. I started grooming again on Sunday too, some of you think I am joking. My hair is long, for me. I can make it look like Wolverine, which I plan to do for the next two races. I'll get a picture. Alison has adjusted quite well to my grafting season madness. That's why I married her or it was for the bedroom wrestling, which we got back to on Sunday as well, after I shaved.

Still working like mad, back still unhappy, really unhappy by Saturday evening. Pacing and running the marathon with my friend Jay was a good time, though. I really enjoyed doing it with him and hope he doesn't hate me for all the crazy stuff I said to him. I thought one of his comments was funny. Late in the race, 20+, Jay wanted to walk, just a 30 second walk break. Qualifying for Boston was still in reach at that point, but slipping. I wouldn't let Jay walk, I told him to run until he fell over unable to move. After the race he told me his thoughts of "I'm a grown man, I can walk if I want to." Crystal, his wife, asked if he walked. Jay said no, he couldn't with me yelling at him. If I wasn't so busy, I could have enjoyed it more.

Back was really screwed up most of the week. My right leg just wouldn't work. Finally got down to see Dr. Firczak, my chiropractor, on Thursday. I was pretty locked up he said and I did not adjust easily or at all in my SI joint. It did help, but didn't cure everything. I felt significantly better on Saturday, but turned my ankle running in the dark that night. I decided to just go home and ice it. Sunday would be a new week and I'd finish grafting on Sunday.
