Time: ~20 minutes
Distance: ~5k
Dr. Greenapple came through huge time and treated me out at McAlpine in the evening. He has been helping out the Ardrey Kell HS cross-country team and was out there holding a stopwatch for the JV boys. I jogged around on the Footlocker course trying to judge where my foot was at while looking for the doc. I eventually spotted a team in purple on the final mile of the course running some 800m repeats.
When the practice was over I followed the doc to his car where he pulled out a portable acupuncture kit. He treated me over by the kids so they could see a little more about what he does. I was comfortable with being pinned outdoors as I'm ready to be done with this foot pain.
After the treatment I ran a few strides with Dr. Greenapple closely watching my form. I made mention that my right foot is landing on the lateral side and twisting through toe off. He noticed the same thing and tried to come up with a couple explanations for it. I hope next week I'll be able to have a few more sessions as doc didn't think there was too much wrong with my foot.

Back on the Horse...
...only a little lame.
I'm only a little lame because my neck is totally eff'd. On Saturday night I thought it would be a good idea to attempt a backflip in a moon bounce/bounce house. Give me a trampoline and I'll do backflips all day long. I developed my skills as a youngster in the backyards of California. But, I don't have much bounce house experience. In fact, I have none. I got nervous that I was going to hit the roof and come crashing down on my head. Instead, I shorted the jump and came crashing down on my head. It was not one of my finer moments and I'm glad to still be walking.
So this puts me with a 99% healed achilles and a terribly sore neck. I ran 3 miles with Meagan on Monday night along the creek before going to Dr. Greenapple's. I did a little rehab on the lower limb before Dr. G. worked on my neck muscles. It feels like I need to put my head in a vice and dangle from the ceiling in order to allow my spine to relax. Dr. G. definitely loosened me up before leaving his offices and I'll get acupuncture on the achilles later in the week.
