Drove from Black River Falls to Boulder.  15.5 hours.  1009.9 miles.  No way I was gonna skate after sitting in a car for that long.

Day 2 of the Bayer family reunion was filled with mostly rain and swimming in the cold lake so I didn’t feel like making the drive in for a wet skatepark.

On a family vacation in Omaha, I didn’t expect to skate everyday and today was too busy to keep the dream alive.  Oh well, my body needed a rest.

My groin was feeling pretty weird and I’ve skated a lot of days in a row so I forced myself to take the day off skating.  I played basketball with Liz and Ollie instead, went to Meta to sell some Null and watched a couple skate videos with Brian, Carleigh and Jason.

Sore from the last few days of skating in a row and not wanting to push it too much and pull my groin again I went swimming with the kids and took it easy and wrote this run on sentence.  The groin is still not 100% and is kinda popping in a weird way still, but not as painful.

Blame it on the groin. I took last Friday May 7th off hoping my body would be in better shape for Cheyenne. It wasn’t.

My groin felt really wrong after that last ‘session’ pushing with Ollie to/from Abo’s so I decided to try and sit it out again and let it heal longer.  So far it feels about the same.  Ugh.  Not sure how much longer I can last not skating.

Basically didn’t do anything the first few days after the Dr said no skating or other activity.  It’s getting better and harder to not skate ..

If your a diligent reader of my skate journal you will know that I fell down in pain my last session due to weird groin pain.  Well walking up the stairs into work the next day resulted in a similar pain.  I went to the doctor.  He said it’s a pulled groin and to take two weeks off with no skating.  Not anything that may aggravate it.  No basketball with Ollie, no hiking on difficult trails with Liz, no sky diving with India.  Ugh.  He said if it still hurts in two weeks it’s MRI time and it may be 6 – 8 weeks.  Man I hope not.  I’m bummed, but kind of looking forward to a break from skating.  I’m gonna get some Null stuff done, hang with the family more and watch lots of NBA Playoffs.  Go Nuggets!

Yeap, my 5th day off skating of the year.  I suck.  I kind of enjoyed it.  I sat around the house, hung with the family, worked on some Null stuff, got called into work and watched the Nuggets lose horribly.  I don’t know if their gonna get by the first round this year.  Ugh.
