Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

One-mile commute.

So I'm on a recumbent bike in the gym in my office building. The only upside of a recumbent, stationary bike is that it offers ample opportunity for making posts to training blogs, checking emails or facebook (if that's your thing), and even drinking coffee. I tried the elliptical trainer for 30 minutes, but I quickly realized I was redefining diminishing returns.

Though I'm having my right foot x-rayed this afternoon, I'm still in a very positive frame of mind. I really enjoyed the 100 Mile experience. And that's really what it is at the end of the day...an experience. One I'll never forget.

Guess I'll find out if my wife actually reads my blog this afternoon based on whether she let's me in the house. I don't think she wanted me to "workout" today.

Did you ever consider maybe taking the day off completely?

But now it's time to experience some rest and recovery!

Three words: Extreme. Sauna. Pilates.

Rob- You mean with like no cardiovascular exercise at all?

Luke- There is nothing extreme about pilates, in a sauna or otherwise.

Just got back from the doctor who tried to get me to purchase (and presumably wear) a post-op boot/shoe. In refusing, I pointed out that said boot/shoe would inhibit my ability to get the aforementioned cardiovascular activity.
