I Can Do Hard Things

RUN/WALK - 4.25 miles (5 mins walk to 5 mins run - except for the last 2 segments, I ran for 5:30 and 6). 

 I can't tell you how WONDERFUL it felt to run today.  Really run - I ran almost 2 miles.  My ankle felt so great that I really did have to restrain myself not to go further or faster.  It's coming folks, its coming!

BIKE - 15.69 miles 1:02:57 minutes - I felt good on the bike too, but it was hot.  I hope to get a longer, harder ride in this week.  I still feel like I am so slow on a bike!

I think I will be able to do the mini sprint triathlon in November.  I'd better be able to run the 5k gosh darn it!

RUN/WALK: 4.3 miles (probably ran 2.15 miles) - walk 5 minutes run 5 minutes

Ankle feels a bit funny tonight.  Lots of ice and I will see how it feels in the morning.

40 minutes on the elliptical

RUN/WALK - 2.47 Miles - 30:30 minutes(6 minute walk - 4 minute run)

BIKE - 17.26 Miles 1:31 hours

I rode part of the Alpine Loop today and it kicked my tail.  I didn't decide before-hand what I wanted out of this workout and I let the "hard" win me over.  I didn't make it to the top and turned around at the Timpanooke turnoff.  My legs were spent - I didn't do a lot of biking this week (we had a lot going on) and I could tell.

There were SO many riders going up the canyon this morning.  Hard-core riders too!  They all passed me going up and coming down - that is hard on the ego :)

My ankle has been bothering me a bit and I've been a bit grumpy about it.  I got my stress fracture back in December and it is the end of August....urghhhhh!  But I thought I would try to run on it today and back off a minute of running.  It feels ok, still a bit achy. 

My next workout needs to be better!
