The three miles a day worked well this last week.  There seems to be a fine line between stretching enough and too much.  Also the road camber and ANY hills really bother my ITB.  It will be 4 miles a day this week on the 5k route for Onion Days :)

I am still lamenting about the pool being closed.  My heart is heavy and sad :(

I have cleared up a few things to make my life less stressful.  It is very frustrating to me, that like our homes, we must de-clutter our lives as well.  How do all of these "good" things sneak in and take over?  Why is it that some things that are truly important need to be cut out?  Why is it that the VERY MOST important things seem to get squeezed out, without us even noticing???

Oh- the Pig Wrestling is set and we are ready to RULE the world!  For those of you  who'd love to come a view this GREAT event, Michelle, McKenzie, Kellie & I will be wrestling a pig in MUD, into a barrel on Saturday night at the Salem Arena for Onion Days :)  Oh baby, is this going to be AMAZING and a show stopper :D

Woke up late and had to run short.  Maybe it was a good thing, as I had a lot of pain at the end of my run and rolling my ITB yesterday.  The main pain is mid thigh now with a bit in the hip. 

I am still reeling with excitement about my swim last night :)  HAPPY DAYS!!!  I need to find a wet suit so I can swim with the BRAVE Michelle in the reservoir this fall, well, starting next week.  I'll call my brother :)

I am going to bike tonight and tomorrow night.  Thursday, I am going to put the whole tri together.  I can hardly walk straight when I get out of the pool, so I am a bit concerned about how it will work out.  At least it is a sprint sprint :)  (400 swim, 9 mile ride, 5k)

On a FABULOUS note, my weight is going down AMAZINGLY well.  I am SO excited :)  I may get brave enough to post it one of these days :)

No run today.  My ITB was really tender last night when I rolled it, so I am going to cut it some slack today.  I think I may go on a slow easy FLAT bike ride after breakfast with Will in tow.  From what I have read, easy flat riding is OK for ITB cross training.  I am SO glad that I did not get into St George.  I would be SO freaked out right now.

*** 74 minutes bike ride with Will in the trailer :)  It was pretty relaxed but tiring.

Well, now I know that I can do the tri next week.  The knee is fine.  I am POOPED!  I am also SHOCKED that my run was so fast.  The first split was in the 9's with JELLO legs.  I started this at about 4:30pm with a temp of 88 degrees.  This is the WORST time ever to try to cross the highway to get to the flat lands where I bike and run.

Fueling ideas.  Powerade at the transition area.  1/2 after the swim and 1/2 after the bike.  I am going to take water on the bike ride and gue at mile 4.5 for running energy.  That is the plan.  I did just water today at the transition spots and I was fine.  My mountain bike is a killer.  I wont be fast, but I'll be buff!!!
