Dusted the cleats off….

Week 13 Post Surgery

Dusted the cleats off on Monday and gave them a test drive to make sure they still work!  It felt a little weird but I loved it.  After running a hard 20 minutes straight I did some ball work for about 35 minutes. During the ball work I challenged myself and did some sprint exercises so I can start to develop my quickness over short distances.  I am sore today from it, but hopefully that will pass and get better the more I do it.  If my history of this rehab period repeats itself than that will surely be the case.

This week I am back in my hometown of Mandeville, Louisiana for a lot of business and a little pleasure trip.  Between working out, meetings, work, coaching, and appearances there only leaves little time for me to enjoy one of my favorite things in Louisiana; SHRIMP PO-BOYS!!  Every time I come home I have to eat one daily for at least a week to get my fill! 

I am only in town a few days before I go to Vail for my follow up post surgery appointment with my doctor. Getting excited because I am coming down the stretch for my rehab and it looks like I am going to finally return back to playing soccer professionally at 100% after over 2 long years of being injured.  I can’t wait!!!!

Keep livin the Dream!! JM
