Another hour and 45 minute tennis match, never-ending by tennis standards! I won, but sure dragged it out, was up 6-1, 5-2 match point and let it drag out to 6-1, 7-5. I was worried! I got new tennis shoes yesterday but my toes still felt on fire, and sure enough, the entire skin on my big toe is a blister that is trying to tear off, ughhh. Guess they are just missing the callouses that need to build back up again? I've decided to wait on the marathon training, postponing it from Seattle RnR in June to Portland in October. Although I'm sure I could keep going and it would be fine, after all the anxiety before the half I don't think it can hurt to give my ankle more recovery time. Plus I'll have more time for training in the summer and the tennis season will be over by then. So I'm going to do the Seattle RnR half instead with Chris, the CDA half with Rachael, Hood to Coast, hopefully a sprint triathlon, and then Portland full marathon October 10th. Still quite a full year of racing! Guess I have to make up for missing all of 2009. :-) Weekly Summary: Mon-off, Tues-4.5, Wed-tennis, Thurs-6.25, Fri-tennis, Sat-10, Sun-tennis Weekly Total Miles: 20.75 This week's plan is run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and since I'm not going to be upping mileage for awhile, I really want to focus on adding in a tempo or speed workout each week. I also want to make sure to get a bike workout in at least once a week. Too much tennis this week, not enough bike!
