2 wisdom teeth pulled this morning. Well, on the positive side, my hip should be 100% by the time I can run again. Have a mission trip on Fri/Sat, so will probably take 3-4 days off. Probably good for me in the big scheme of things.

Hope the wisdon teeth heal quickly. Awesome that you are going on a missions trip. Always good to help out others in need. Hope it is a great experience for you and enjoy the rest from running.

Take care of that hip. Don't work too hard on your mission trip. Where are you going?

Thanks...hip's pretty close to good again. We're bringing a group to Uganda this summer, so we're bringing a group of youth this weekend to Albany, NY to help package and ship some supplies to several different locations (poorest of the poor situations). Most of the youth are not going with us to Uganda, so this will give them opportunity to contribute.

Hope the mouth doesn't hurt too bad, good to hear about the hip. Cool about the mission trip as well!

Yeah, I won't be chomping on powerbars anytime soon. Fun to read about your adventure in Boston!
