11 miles early this AM with RADalicious! Therapy on the run, thanks RAD.
When I got to RAD's house, she was putting her new shoes on. I got a little jealous and now I want new shoes.
My sister had her pretty baby last night, she's cute. No one on the blog knows her, so I don't really know why I am writing this. Anyway, hope my sis recovers quickly.
*Once RAD told me that running a marathon was harder than giving birth. After hearing about my sis's experience last night I think I would rather run 5 marathons in a row.... |

TM speed work today. 2 mile warm-up, 4 1 mile repeats, 2 mile cool down. It actually seemed a little less stressful than last week. Was there a bit of pain? Yes.
I checked my shoe milage yesterday and it is time to get new shoes! I get excited when I wear out a pair of running shoes and I get to buy a new pair. That tells me that I am doing my job. |

| 15 miles around Herriman with Rachel, Annette, and Kathy (she rode her bike and did a little running). So fun to run with such great ladies. My right Achilles Tendon was killing most of the run, still hurts. GRRRR. I have done nothing! Tomorrow I will be riding in a bike relay just for ladies. I am really excited and very nervous since I never train on my bike much. Ok, I NEVER train on my bike. It's only twenty miles of riding so I figure I will be OK. Don't really want to get off and walk when it's uphill. Now I am worried about my tendon.

So today I experienced one of the coolest races!!!! I did an all women bike race. It was the Rockwell Relay and I did it with three new friends. The relay went from Snowbasin to Provo. In May a gal I worked with asked me if I wanted to do a bike race. I have a hard time telling people no, so I decided to do it since I needed to get out on my bike and all. Well, the race came and I hadn't trained one day on my bike in the past year. I was nervous. When my leg started I hopped on my bike and I was shaking. I NEVER get nervous like that for running races but for some reason I was going to die. My tendon was swollen and hurting for some reason and I was scared that I was going to injure the poor foot even more. I rode on. The start of my uphill leg which was 21 miles and the 1,067 feet of climbing was actually going ok. I treated this like I was in a spin class and I was just warming up. I rode from Morgan past East Canyon Lake up and into the next valley. I ran this leg during the Ragnar last year so I knew what was coming. I climbed, and climbed and climbed! Out of nowhere the BIGGEST STEEPEST hill was in sight. "Crap," I said to myself, " I really don't want to get off and walk that beast." I put my hills forward and started digging. I started singing the ABC's very slowly to get my mind off of the situation. It hurt, I climbed, and I made it to the top after I went through the ABC's three times. I went down a little hill and started another. After the hills I sailed into town. AMAZING!!!! My second leg went from Midway down Provo Canyon. I actually didn't like this leg as much because of the crazy traffic. I was frightened and held my brakes most of the way down. I rode around 45 miles. Not much, but that was the furthest I've rode and it was super fun and not as hard as I thought it would be. It took our team of four to complete the race in 11 hours and 30 minutes. And my tendon actually felt better.

Raining on the Stairmaster for 1 hour. EZ elliptical 30 minutes. Tendon very tight. I can feel something moving around in there like it has been torn. No running until Saturday!

| Pool running for 1 hour. I felt like an old injured person. I listened to music on my Ipod which made it a little better. My heart rate never went up. |

1 hour spin class with Skinny Danny. I haven't been to his class in a long time and I did rather well. I kept up to his pace most of the time. He still is crazy.
Pool running for an hour. My body was cool but my face was warm and sweating. HR still did not climb. Rather a great workout!
Tendon hurts more now. Getting really frustrated. Seems like every six months my body just does not want to run. It yells at me and makes me stop somehow. I have never faced this injury. |

| Swam 60 laps at "Club Hollywood," aka Lifetime Fitness with RAD. It was so nice to swim outside, under the sun. RAD wants me to do a TRI with her. If the foot feels better by next Saturday, I will consider.

| Real first Triathlon, I loved it! Swim: 9:50 Bike: 57 min Run: 24 min During the swim I had to really stop and take control of myself. There were others all around and I was getting lost in the water. Bike was super slow. Depressing. Run was fair on a bad Achilles. I would like to do another triathlon shortly. I would also like a new bike so I can actually get serious about this sport. In the long run it will be kinder to my body.
