Happy Halloween! I am feeling happy about the fact that I didn't actually purchase ANY Halloween candy this year. I still had half of a bag of Halloween candy left over from last year which I gave out at our Church's Trunk or Treat party on Friday night. You may think that is rude to hand out old candy to unsuspecting children but I actually tasted a couple of pieces myself and I assure you it tasted completely normal. Makes me wonder about the ingredients they put in that stuff. Anyway, after my kids organized (you know the drill, lining up all the different types and stacking the multiples) and binged on candy for 24 hours, I asked them for donations from their abundant supplies and we filled up a bowl with enough candy to hand out to Trick or Treaters tonight. We stayed home and played games while the doorbell rang every few minutes for an hour or so and I smiled as I watched my kids hand out their own candy to other neighbors and friends. Now we're down to just a few pieces per kid remaining. Thank goodness.

| 7 miles in 7:25 pace Achilles is feeling better every day!! I think the problem was mostly caused by the super tightness of my calf. The past couple of weeks of Dr. Tim blasting the adhesions and tightness away with e-stim, ultrasound, laser therapy, deep acupuncture, and (my favorite) deep tissue massage has REALLY been helping it heal. WAHOO! I went in for some more e-stim, laser, and acupuncture this morning and will probably go in again later this week for more deep tissue work. I think I'll call Richey for some ART this week too. Happy All Saints' Day, everyone! | | Comments(4) |

| 10 miles in 7:21 pace WOW, my achilles is REALLY on the mend. YAHOO!!! I was quite motivated to run this morning because I talked to Coach De Reuck yesterday and he was glad to hear that my achilles is healing up nicely since he's (unbeknownst to me) pretty much been counting on me as the fifth member of the Running Republic Club team he has put together for cross country club nationals. The 6K race is in Charlotte, NC on Sat., Dec. 11th. He says the team would consist of Renee Metivier Baillie, Sarah Slattery, Sarah Vaughn, Colleen, and lil' old me racing for Darren's club team, Running Republic of Boulder. According to Darren, we would have a very high chance of winning. It sounds like a blast to me mostly because it would be a fun chance to meet and get to know Renee and the Sarahs, whom I've never actually met (I've only read about them seen them in passing). They all live and train in Boulder though and could potentially be future running buddies for me to connect with once we move there in a couple of weeks. My only reservation is that I don't want to push my training (and my achilles) too fast or too soon and re-injure myself. Coach suggested that I could just train in my road racing flats and not even bother getting a pair of cross country spikes since those things could really make my calves tight and cause more problems for me. For now I'm still just taking it one day at a time but I'm praying I can keep getting stronger and be ready to go to Club Nationals next month. We shall see.... | | Comments(9) |

| 7 miles in 7:16 pace Achilles still takes a couple of miles to warm up and feel good, but its definitely getting there. Went in for some ART and graston scraping on my achilles and hip. The hip is a mild problem I just haven't been addressing because it hasn't been complaining as loudly as my achilles, but it felt good to get that worked out too. | | Add Comment |

| Met the group at Four Mile trailhead this morning. Our friend Becky was kind enough to watch our kids at her home in Boulder so Aaron could join in on the group workout. 20 min. warm up, stretching strides 10 min. steady (5:59 pace) 3X4 min on, 1 min jog, 1 min hard. My pace on the 4 minute intervals was 5:38, 5:43, 5:40. My my pace on the 1 minute hard intervals was 5:02, 5:06, 5:10 10 min cool down Achilles felt good. Not perfect, but good. I'm just really grateful that I was able to out pushing the pace on a beautiful Boulder morning! It was nice to see the team again and catch up with everyone. I also enjoyed having Aaron there. A few more workouts like that and he'll be pushing my pace! | | Comments(3) |
