Started my run and my leg was giving me the cold shoulder. Two miles into it I figured I'd switch to the elliptical. With Ogden on Saturday (even though it is not a goal race for me) I figured to err on the side of caution.

20 minutes elliptical

Big fat zero.

Pretty sure I strained my sartorius muscle. STUPID me!!! Probably trying some funky super fast lunge hop-type exercises (that I was geniusly - is that a word- making up) on the Bosu ball yesterday. Babying it like crazy! :)

The run down is this: I am super happy with my time! A 56 seconds distance PR and exactly a 4 minute course PR. :) I was worried sick about my legs but am pleased with how they held up. Limping now, but totally worth it (and my kids found me an awesome walking stick in the woods)! Ironically my left leg (that I have had problems with for a couple of weeks) did spectacularly, but my right leg (sartorius) gave me a lot of trouble. I was very worried in the beginning but the pain didn't get much worse until about mile 20ish. By then it was like -- oh well (trying to adopt JulieC's toughness). Once again the course really kicked my butt the last few miles taking my AP way down ... but that's just because I stink at toughing out the last few miles! :)

Couple more items of business:

1. LOVED taking the bus from Eden and getting the extra sleep!

2. LOVED seeing my family at the halfway point and the finish line!

3. LOVED seeing my SSF (Smooth) at the finish line! She is a trooper!!! :)

4. LOVED spending time with the coolest SIL (andrea27.fastrunningblog.com) in the world (who yes, I wore twinsy outfits with -- cheesy? Perhaps ... but dang we looked good)!!! :)

5. LOVED how well so many raced today!!! Congrats to you all!!! :) :) :) 

Happy Saturday!!!  

(And why does Ogden always measure long???)
