| | Nice bike ride :) Left upper outside quad was a bit grumpy at first, but eventually gave in ;) I went WAY further than I have ever gone in my 60 minute ride ;) I really wanted to run, but figured I should err (sp?) on the side of caution ;) I had NO pain from the race :) Just regular stiffness. I think my body may like the 1/2 marathon ;D |

Nice run this morning! The left knee was a bit achy for the first little while :( My ankles were the usual "achy after a race or a very long run," so that was okee dokee :D I was pretty tired on the run.
I had a ton more to copy and paste in here but the clipboard is having a stroke or something. I'll see if David can fix it up for me tonight ;)

| | I was POOPED for the WHOLE run today :( It's really ok though ;) I decided to not wear my orthotics and see if they were the culprit for my foot pain. Not sure. My calves were totally ticked off without them. Anyway... I am glad that I am all done with the run :) I am glad that I have a new modem and can blog again ;D We have a big family thing on Saturday, so I am trying to figure out if I need to do my 20 miler on Friday instead of Saturday. I need to decide today, so I can plan for the rest of the week. I really need this run to NOT STINK! It does not have to be great, just not leave me crippled. I am going to check the weather forcast too. That will help me.

Pulling weeds, yard work! My feet are a bit sore, so I am giving them a break today. I should not have worn my hooker shoes to work this week. Will I ever learn??? I hate wearing my Birks to work. I am all dressed up and then granola feet with purple toe nails :( I bought some pretty EXPENSIVE shoes for work, but they hurt my feet :( I am having a GREAT day and hope y'all are too!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo (see Burt- I did not mention breasts once today... ok, I did not mention them 2 times)
So much for a perfect day :( I went for a bike ride and a wasp/bee/stinging insect flew into my helmet strap and stung/bit me! I high tailed it home as when I was a kid I was super allergic. It looks OK, but is swollen and HURTS!! I can feel my ear swelling up :( I need to go find some antihistamine.

Yesterday, suddenly, there appeared a race starting line in front of my house! I tried to find out what it was and had no luck until this morning. I guess Payson is starting a new Memorial Day 5k :) I ran the route at 6am and found the organizers as I finished. The route is HORRIBLE! It is from my house, up a very steep short hill, then up the canyon road for a mile and a 1/2. Then it is a gradual down hill until the last 1/2 mile which is very steep for about .2 and then more gradual for the last bit. Anyone who came for a good time is going to be very sad unless they are a billy goat ;) I would have LOVED to have run this race, but I did not know about it until it was too late. We met my family over at my parents for a yard work session. He is still recovering very well, but won't be cleared for 100% all day labor until September :( Anyway, we are home now and I am pooped. I want to go run a bit more. I guess I will. I ate too many of these SUPER yummy Smore rice crispy treats and need more miles. I have really been babying myself and need to get the cardio up a titch. What are everyones favorite way to taper for a marathon? Our 20 miler is Monday, and then I have until the 13th for the marathon. Can I bike during the taper? Swim? *** I went out for another 5k this afternoon. 11:32 pace It was nice and I feel great! The creek is running and so I got to soak my feet :) Yippee for spring :D
