Resting, even though it runs contrary to your nature, is probably a good thing. Particularly for injury prevention.

Ditto Tom. Enjoy the guitar and the scenery. Come back refreshed and ready to kick some booty once again.

You will be expected to confirm that you actually did rest for three full days. 
Have fun! |

Thanks everyone. Quick check in here just to record that I completely rested for Friday and Saturday and tonight I found that I could run again on the college campus track. It is soft and spongy and perfect for a little run. I did 8 laps on the outside lane with no timing, or concept of distance. I quit before I was ready to quit and so I think I will be able to run again tomorrow!! Whoo hooo! Additionally all my DOMs from lifting is gone so on Tuesday I am going to have a kick ass lift with the trainer too. I am so looking forward to it.
Guitar camp is amazing. It is much like the summit is to JP boards. Most of us met on a board and we meet every year to study under my teacher (A world-class concert player and teacher) and to just play guitar together. Yesterday we picked up most of the folks from the airport and today we watched my teacher in concert and did a bbq. The eating thing is somewhat challenging but I am determined to not set myself back this week so am planning carefully around all the good food. Tomorrow we start intensive classes and Master Classes and next Saturday we will be expected to perform a public concert. Tickets are already selling to the event (gulp). It all raises money for a great cause in a small town outside of Portland.
I will send you all a pointer to the review once it is created. Here is last year's review though.... I did not play in the Master Class last year but this year I had to.

Anyway I will spend just a short time on here tonight and stop in when I get the chance thru the week!

Karla...........You sound like you are having a wonderful time. I can understand how the eats are going to be challenging since you really have no control over what is being served. Do your best and you'll be very happy with how you handled everything.
Oh, I'm glad that ankle is feeling better........just don't push it!  |

I'm glad you got two full rest days in and am so happy to hear that the ankle is better. Yay!
Have fun at camp! And I agree with Bysti, if anyone can handle the food, it's you.

Thanks guys. I did well at my Master Class today and have a lot of homework to do. I also have to prepare a presentation for my peers on Weds. Fun stuff!
But just as fun is that fact that I did a 3 (plus) mile run on the track today and feel just fine in the foot. I see the trainer tomorrow and expect that he will tell me to take it easy or some silly thing. LOL!! This kid is coming back strong!!!
A really cool thing happened today on the run. I was running with my guy friends and it was the first warmish day in Portland in a long while. The guys started to take off there shirts. At first I was jealous but then I remembered that I had this fairly heavy sports bra/shirt on under my t-shirt. So I took it off too! Now that is something I would NEVER have done at any other time in my life. I am starting to sport a 4-pack though and am not even remotely ashamed now to be out in public like this.
How cool is this?
