You guys and gals are awesome!!!!! Thanks so much for the encouragement it means a lot to me, really thank you all.
Next up is USA Indoor Nationals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (March 3-4). http://www.usatf.org/events/2007/USAIndoorCEChampionships/ I will be facing tough competition from my buddie Paul Terek who won the event two years in a row in 2003 and 2004, however I won in 2005 and 2006, and no one has ever won Indoor Nationals three times, so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, thanks again. Hope to see you all soon.
Running for Him,
Ryan

[LittleBeast]

Yes, I am hoping to win three times, let's hope and pray all goes well.

Oh and no I will be flying myself and my pole vaulting poles into the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area on the 1st.

[tomdietrying]

Ryan or anyone else with info. Does anyone know how Ryan did at the Indoor Nationals?
Peace.

Here you go Tom...info (http://www.usatf.org/news/view.aspx?DUID=USATF_2007_03_05_13_39_40)

[LittleBeast]

Well, I guess the three-peat monster bit me... One and a half weeks before the competition I tore my left hamstring muscle during pole vault practice just enough to make it impossible to compete at Indoor Nationals. I am healing and it is looking fine for outdoors, but trying to compete at indoor nationals potentially making the hamstring worse was not worth the risk with World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan this year. Thanks for checking up on me though, and I hope to have better news after my next meet in late May.
In Christ,
Ryan H

[Triathlete]

Hope you heal up 100% and quickly. Good luck at outdoor nats. I hate injuries...it is so hard to do nothing when you are used to training every day!
