Nate's Take With Nate Rossetti

Colchester becomes the focus after a gutsy performance in Shelburne. I spent a lot of time strength training, cross training, and running hills to overcome the IT band issue on my right leg. In Colchester, I had the opportunity to run my first healthy race.

Disaster strikes in Shelburne! Forced to make a difficult decision, I decide to not give up and run the race despite significant injury both from a change in technique and injury during pre-race warm-up. I take you through my thoughts, my struggle, and the feeling of success in what I considered my "bloody sock game." 

The first race in 24 years is described in this new take! Recovering from a right IT band injury and dealing with ailing lower back pain, I describe what it was like to take on Montpelier. I relive what that back pain was, how I dealt with it, the crippling affect of the race, its aftermath, and the declaration feeling of "I'm back!" 

Season Six brings a new look with an old attitude! This season, Nate will spend each episode breaking down his running adventure. On episode one, he discusses what made him decide that he needed to make life changes and he details how the running adventure actually began.

Folk, 1-3 this season, missed a crucial field goal which if he had gotten, would've set the Patriots up with a chip shot at the end and a Cam Newton game winning drive. Instead, Folk couldn't "do his job" and the Patriots lost in attempt to do what they should've have had to do. In the second segment, Nate makes his week three picks followed by a new Card of the day in the third.
