Knee Pain, Conferral, and Birthday Giveaway! UPDATED!

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!!!

I've been having some knee pain since last winter. I went to my yearly physical and talked to my doctor about my knee. She said that from my description of my pain and where it was located that it was likely a tendon issue, but she knew that she would likely need to check out if there was a bone issue before doing an MRI or anything. So, she sent me down to radiology to get x-rays of my knees. They told me that I'd hear from the doctor's office when they got the results. That was on Wednesday, so in doctor speak I didn't expect to hear anything until the next week. I heard on Friday from them! Say what!? They said that my x-ray looked just fine. They said that my bones didn't have any issues, but they did notice some arthritic degeneration. I asked them if they just said that I have arthritis. They said that's generic terms for what happens to your bones as you get older and they expect it from someone of my age. Speaking of my age....be sure to check out my birthday giveaway!

I have officially finished school! Last week I ordered my diploma as I finished the final courses for my Bachelor's of Science for Software Development a couple of weeks ago and they conferred the degree mid last week. So, that means that I have more time to train now.....right? Well, my wife is still in school for a short while longer. I also have 4 kids on 6 different all-star cheerleading teams. The 5th kid is almost my saving grace. I am putting together a workout plan for him that he'll do most often with me, so I will be training with him at least. Speaking of training, I am training for the Market to Market Relay Nebraska again this year. That will be Saturday October 8th, 2016 from Omaha, NE to Lincoln, NE. I had a great time last year and we are doing it again this year.

And now to the part you all are waiting for, my

BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY!

This year I thought that I'd give away a few of my favorite things. I'm starting with my favorite hydration product, that would mean a tube of Nuun of course! What self respecting Nuunbassador wouldn't give one away? The guys over at Viter have graciously offered up a tin of either Wintergreen or their NEW Spearmint flavor!!! I'm also hoping to add more as the week goes on. So, stay tuned
