Jordan went to physical therapy for the tendinitis in his left ankle Friday and Monday. It made a world of difference, and he is happy to be back running again. He has a couple more PT sessions to go, but he has been cleared to race.
After his disappointment of being pulled from the Hudson meet a week ago, he ran Tuesday at the Ellsworth meet. There were a ton of kids, and 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys all ran together for 1.5 miles. Jordan had to start in the back, since he is a 6th grader, and coming back from an injury. That didn't stop him from moving up throughout the entire race. I chased him all over the course, and every time I saw him, he had moved up more places. He finished 35th overall, and 3rd 6th grader from Hudson. That earned him a call up to the front for his meet in Shoreview this Friday. Both his grandmothers were there to witness the historic event, which made it even more enjoyable for Carla and I. Nice work Jordo.
