20 minutes lower body strength training

2 mile swim

** Really faded the last 1/2 mile but felt like I was in no real danger of drowning so kept going! Yes, Mike, I thought about your Ironman/Irongirl challenge. I think, for now, I will leave that hardest of hardcore stuff to you, my friend! But ... maybe, just maybe, by the time I hit 40! :)

10 miles

* Very stiff and tight the first two miles but then felt pretty decent.

* Can't decide if I like the Superfeet insoles. Ran 5 miles with them, 5 miles without.

lower body strength training

30 minutes upright bike

1 mile swim

9 miles

hip and ankle strength training

5 minutes warmup on the elliptical to loosen my legs

20.2 miles (mostly with the Chumps - was so glad to get a call from Kathie at 4:50 this morning saying she was on her way, some on my own)

** Ry  had to come and find me to give me more fluids. What a guy! :) It was also fun to finally meet Brent and Sylvie (and their doggy). Was able to run the last mile on grass barefoot (since Ry said he would come and get me from there). LOVED THAT LAST MILE.

Overall, I feel really good about this run. It was not nearly as fast as I would like it to be (eventually) and I did take a couple of breaks, but I got in the miles with only fatigue, no pain. :)

**15 minute icebath ... dang I hate those!!! :)

**Good sign: Just a few hours later and I was able to DDR it up with my oldest and her friend! :) SWEET! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention earlier that I wore the least amount of prewrap and kinesio tapes in about a year. Cool!
