3 miles easy 3.1 mi 00:29 09:22 pace
Aiming for a 9:55 easy pace, but I just decided to run what was a nice comfortable pace and go with that, which ended up at 9:22. This run felt really good, very pleasant, which was weird since it... read more

good Fire 45 00:45
bit of a sluggish start, but cookin' by the end. I know this is supposed to be taper week, but it is just too hard to gear down sometimes.

Gosh, really trying to kick that metabolism into high gear. I have hit a plateau this last year and I have tried everything to bust through it, all to no avail. So. double or triple workouts for a short blast of time, cut refined carbs waaaaay down in favor of more protein and cutting some daily calorie count too. Seems to be helping, but I am pooped by dinnertime!

Hopped on the trainer after the 55 min cross training session. Usually I'm too intense to read on the bike, but I cranked the gears and gave it a try. Finished one of the most poingnant, rel... read more

Good to know! I'm a writer and literature teacher so devour words like crazy. I'm not much for fiction though. This book was The Gift of An Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison. She is one of my favorite authors ever.

Feels better after PT! You may have missed my update since you were in Seattle for Mother's Day weekend. They diagnosed peroneal tendonitis and did a Graston procedure on the entirre muscle assembly from the belly of the muscle (that starts, apparently, mid-calf and entends down below the ankle bone). INTENSE. I can totally relate to your own post-procedural soreness! Taped me up with Kineseo & I was on the mend within 48 hrs. Several return visits scheduled & I think the HM might still be possible!

I know just what you mean! I'm on this AMAZING trip and feeling exhausted from all the sight seeing, jet lag, and excitement, but darn it, if I don't PR at Sunday's race, I'm gonna be ticked!! Fingers crossed for us both!
