I love my Rocky... He's so cool!

Be immune to others opionions.

What others say and
do is a projection of their
own reality, their own dream.
When you are immune to
the opinions and the actions of
others, you won't be
the victim of
needless suffering.

I hope you all have a beautiful day!

Hey there Cat. Glad to hear that you are feeling fully recovered :-)

I have a raw food question...I have been trying to find what percent of green leafy veggies is average for a raw foodist. Mainly it seems that the high concentration is of fruit over 50 and greens are in the teens. Being an elite athlete...do you juice or blend a higher percent of greens or take them in a powder form of any kind?

Seems like a crazy question, but I just can't find a solid answer in my research. Thanks! Enjoy the California sun! ~j

Hey Geoff-

knock on wood I've never been side line due to a running related injury.
I'm just lucky so far.
If I were you I would take a few more day off and try and run than. If it feels ok. Don't run more than 5 miles per day for a few days.
Just rest up so you can run the hundred.

It doesn't sound like a stress fracture. From what I hear those are very painful.
Do self massage and run Arnica gel on it.
Good luck and just rest up.

He is a cool doggy! Congratulations on your finish at Rocky Raccoon, I heard it was a tuff day out there, way to push onward and finish strong! That’s unfortunate about Xy but like you said she made a wise decision especially with the Grand Slam down the road. Will you be running VT100 this year or will you be on your PCT adventure? I hope to finally catch-up with Xy at VT100. Take care..

Just wanted say, "you rock"! I read your blog for positive motivation! I read your quotes and the whole time think, "That's right! Yeh! I don't have to absorb all the negative crap!" And running is such a great way to shed negative energy-keep up the positive thinking, it's contagious!

Geoff, I Jeff. I'm running again after a stress fracture last November. Broke clean in two. Swelling went down in 2-3 days because I stayed off it, iced it, and took ibuprofen. 1st xrays showed nothing.
DON'T TRUST your doctor!!! I had a great podiatrist who told me the 1st xray often doesn't show anything. It wasn't until two months later that unmistakeable signs of healing showed on xray.
Without a cast, wear hiking boots, ice-climbing boots, bicycle shoes, etc. Anything that's real stiff. If you don't have anything like that, maybe cut some thin plywood shoe inserts. You have to stablize.

Sorry if I hijacked your comments, Catra. I feel Geoff's pain.
You inspire me, but I have to remind myself that you built up to your current level and I have to pay my dues.
Congrats on Rocky Raccoon and with Rocky the Dog.

Catra: "be immune to other's opinion" is a great way to look at things. So often this world is just flat out MEAN! You, on the other hand, show how to live "just being ME." Rock on!
