  • 1 hour elliptical!!! heart rate 167-182
  • 30 min swim, heart rate would be fairly low I'm sure because swimming is hard (for me) and I needed a few breaks! 

Thoughts during my workout this morning:

  • I love my new Nike Free shoes that don't squish my achilles!
  • I miss my running friends terribly (and they're just gonna have to deal with the fact that I may get sappy)
  • My foot is feeling exponentially better; can't wait to start running again. :)
  • My whole 28 years I truly thought swimming caps kept your hair dry...you can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I pulled my cap off this morning.

Go elliptical!

Don't let your achilles get as bad as mine. I see a specialist Wednesday and hope things get better. I hope your consult has been helpful.

You are so cute!!!!

I know what you mean about swimming caps!!!! Funny stuff!!!! (I even tried to layer the caps once ... no good!)

Nice job on the crosstraining. Your achilles will thank you. Hey ... Allie was wearing Nike Frees this morning - you are in great company!

Btw, you we miss you too. LOTS!!!!! :) :) :)

Welcome to the blog! You cute girl you!!! You are sooo funny! Had no idea your achilles is misbehaving! NICE Xtraining! Sounds like you'll be back hitting the pavements in no time! Happy Slamming this year! Can't wait to see you in some of the races if not at group runs! :)

You went to Cafe Rio after Snow Canyon1/2??? Yummmm! :)

Welcome to the blog! I just have to put this out there...you and I need to run together! We seem to be very similar: we both have a fondness for Smooth (hehe), our 1/2 and 10K PR's are spot on, we are both doing the grand slam and hoping to keep those injuries at bay, both want to qualify for Boston and we are about the same age! I just love finding new friends :) The only difference is I have 4 rug rats that seem to run my life more often than not.

I'm glad you are recovering well from your achilles issues and learning to appreciate x-training. I got to do that last winter with a stress fracture!

Love the pics on the blog too...oh how I love me some cafe rio! Are you doing Painters 1/2 this month?
