Ouch.....

Well, it happens.....especially to those of us who are crazy enough to continue to push the body's physical limits at an age when most have committed themselves to permanent "couch potato" status.

In the midst of a robust wrestling workout, I managed to strain my shoulder enough to put me on the sidelines for a few weeks. It is causing me enough pain that I have suspended my running for a bit as well.

I won't be down for long and will resume running within a couple of days. I do still plan to compete in Montana's Big Sky State Games the weekend of July 18....one way or the other.

Don't try this at home.....I am not encouraging you to go forward with the the same disregard for your body as I am willing to endure.

Although I may have to take some time off on the mat after the Big Sky Games, my ultimate goal is still to win the Veteran's National tournament in Las Vegas in April of 2010 and to represent the USA in the world championships in the fall.

May the force be with you!
