Believe to Achieve

12 miles at 7:33 AP-- first ran at 6:36am to AF high school and onto the trail behind and up through Art Dye Park.  Turned around after the steep climb then came home (7.5 miles) and  got daughter up for Piano Camp (two minute stop) then went out for one more.  Drove Brooke to camp two miles away then took off again when I got home for 3.5 more miles.  Did some arms-- 40 girl push ups, and planks 45secs sides, 60 secs front.   Hopefully a pattern and that I will actually stick to it.  Was going to lift weights too but ran into my neighbor while dropping off my other daughter for her ride to Piano Camp.  She had a broken hand from tripping on to her boat at Lake Powell.  We chatted for a while.  Time went by and I was too hungry to do weights.  BTW NO SORENESS from Saturday.  Right achilles is always slow to warm up, that's all.  I guess everyone has an achilles heel.  Actually the BIGGEST ANNOYING problem since Saturday's run is that I had run out of body glide and had put on my natural deoderant instead in all the usual places, but I MUST have forgotten my thighs because they ARE SO CHAFED.  I MEAN PRETTY BADLY THAT I had to wear BIKER SHORTS to run in today.  Too early to go out and buy glide and THAT WASN'T going to help NOW anyway.  My right thigh got it the worse.  It burned like crazy all day Saturday.  I think some of the lotions I put on I reacted to because my thighs swelled up pretty good.  It will take over a week to heal for sure.  LET ME TELL you that my biker shorts are WAYYYYYY outdated and make me look SOOOOOO   80s stylin'.  I am sure I looked horrifically geeky.    I did wear my Ragnar relay TEAM shirt-- Crack O'Dawners.  It is a tank so I looked semi-like I knew how to run.  Oh MY!!!   also I am in desperate NEED for a new pair of running shoes. I have overly TRAINED in my MIZUNOS, there is NO forefoot tread left in either pair.  They sure don't last longer than 500 miles very well.  I think I put in at 600 miles on both pairs.  Oooops.  No wonder I have to stetch my calves more than usual.  Oh well.  Doing fine now, except the inner thighs.  OUCH.
