Calf pain, not too worried.  2 miles tuesday to see what happens :)  I have to do 18 on Friday AM or Sat at 5am.  I am not too worried about the weekly miles this week, so long as I can do the 18.  Is that stupid or correct?

NO CALF PAIN!!!  I am so glad :D  Tomorrow I will go for 5 :)  I am on day 2 of the RAD Weight Watchers plan :)  Rachel was so kind as to share some tips with me.  So here is the plan in a nut shell- 30% of my points for breakfast, divide the rest of my points over 5 smaller meals.  The last meal/snack of the day needs to be high in protein and protein should be about 70% of my total daily points ;)  I am shooting for about 90 to 100g's a day.  I don't think I can hit 70%- too much.  Dr Brady recommended more protein a while ago and I have ignored his skinny little self ;)  Rachel, on the other hand, looks like the beach volley ball player that I want to be- so I am going to listen to her :)  My friend, MissB, and I had lunch yesterday and plotted and planned about this great new idea.  MissB is already a fabulous twiglett, just looking to improve her fuel intake.  I, on the other hand, am still trying to SET THE AMAZON GODDESS FREE!!!!  I am pretty sure she is still HOT and and dying to find out for sure ;D  I also think she might be a fast runner too.

THANKS RACHEL AND MISSB!!!

No pain again today :)  Rachel's RAD diet is working  ;D  Now seriously, I am feeling quite satisfied with more protein and such a HUGE breakfast.  It's only day 3 (day 2 of strict perfection ;)  Oh and by perfection I mean that I only ate 2 of my daughters french fries, one bite of her soft serve homemade root beer float, 2/3 of a mini pretzel (from off the floor), 1 slice of 2% swiss cheese.  Not too shabby.  OH OH OH- Snickers makes a protein bar.  I bought a six pack at walmart for about $6.50.  They have 20 grams of protein and about 280 calories (6 points).  I ate half of one for my 3 point, pre-bedtime protein snack.  It was TASTY!!!  I don't know if any of you know this, but I am a Snickers JUNKY!!  I LOVE them :)  I would totally marry them if I could ;D

Have a great day :)

60 minutes bike ride with the boys- Will and Mac in the trailer and David on his bike.  My right foot is really bothering me :(

David yelled, "Hey, watch this." and proceeded to ride down the ampatheater steps.... head over heals!  He turfed it BIG TIME!!!  Fortunately he only got a few bumps and scrapes.  He should have said, "Hey watch this... NO BRAINS!!!"

1:15 bike ride. 

I consulted Coach Maurine yesterday and I have revised my long runs for the Marathon.  My recovery after the long runs is a bit slower than anticipated and to make sure that I don't injure myself, I am making some changes.  My right foot is hurting me and I really don't want to exacerbate it and ruin my marathon chances :)  Here goes the new long run plan:

25th biking

2nd- 18

9th- ~12

16th - Ogden 1/2 -this is going to be a training run, marathon pace if the planets are aligned ;) NO RACING!!

23rd - 20

30th-  ~12

6th- 8

13- MARATHON

(Yes, I think too much and worry too much!)
