AM - Went and rejoined the gym this morning, then did 30 minutes on the elliptical (alternating every minute cycles 5-6-7-8-9-repeat resistance) then went to the one hour Centergy class. It was HARD! My arms and abs are going to be sore tomorrow. Reminded me how good for me it is, I must go at least once a week. PM - 1.5 miles walking around the neighborhood with Cooper (it's his birthday! So we got him a pool to play in, he likes it). Went to the Ke$ha / LMFAO concert last night, now THAT was a good time. Highly enjoyable. We took lightrail for the first time and were like now THIS is how we should travel to Seattle! Worked all day today though, which is much harder to do when it's so lovely out. Downside - it's 82 degrees right now... INSIDE MY HOUSE.

AM - Nice and cooler out this morning and there was no almost throwing up, so I'll call it a win, despite the sluggishness and not meeting my goal paces. On the docket was 5 x 800's with 4 minutes rest in between (learned my lesson and upped it from 2 last week). Did a 2 mile warm-up, then hung out in the lower neighborhood where it's flatter for the repeats. Somehow I messed up the workout so it only had me doing 4 splits, and so I did 2 minutes of the 5th one and realized it was on a rest lap and just got confused and I should have just finished it but was too confused! So I did about 4.5 800's.
TT: 56:03 AP: 9:11 800 Splits: 3:49, 4:00, 3:59, 3:56, 2:06 (.26) I'm slower than I think I am? Stupid Singapore... PM - Went to the gym with Justin, did 10 minutes on the elliptical to warm-up, 15 minutes or so of leg weights, then 10 minutes on the recumbent bike while waiting for it to be halftime so we could drive home.

| | PM - Suck Suck SUCK. My ankle really started acting up on this run so I cut it short at 2.56 miles and walked home. It's been bothering me lately but today had me worried about stress fractures, except a few hours later I could hop on the leg no problem, and the pain moves around from the shin to the side ankle to the calf, and usually goes away after 3-4 miles. Today I wore the Saucony Mirage again and that probably didn't help, though you'd think they should since they have more cushioning than the Merrells, those have to go back. I made an appointment at a foot and ankle place I have had my eye on for a while except I know they will recommend orthotics, they're all over their website. They can't see me until Monday. I guess I will rest, bike, stretch my calves like crazy, and ice like crazy until then. And in my depression eat peanut butter covered marshmallows, a new invention of mine that should make me millions.
