Yeah, so the weather has been terrific the last couple of days. Have I got any bike rides in? No. I'm now four weeks without running, and my foot still stabs me once in a while which makes me think it needs a little more time. These tendon things take forever!
I did take my daughter's unused heavy bag and hang it downstairs yesterday. I found beating that thing is a great workout for the upper body and cardio - but not so much for the legs. And it's good for working out aggressions (if you have any)! | | Comments(1) |

I got in a relatively damp mountain bike ride with Cherie and Kathleen this morning. We biked the Snoqualmie Valley trail for about 19 miles. I didn't mind missing part of the Husky vs. Oregon football game :)
I'm going to try out my foot this Saturday with a short TM run I think! | | Add Comment |

| Cherie and I went down to Ballys for a swim. I got in 10 laps (500 meters), and Cherie got in 20 in the same 1/2 hour - and she didn't have to stop and gasp at each end of the pool! | | Add Comment |

| I beat the rain today and got a 20 mile mtn. bike ride in. Then for the afternoon I did 500m swimming/gasping. I'm looking forward to my first run in five weeks this Saturday! I'm planning on just a couple miles on the treadmill. | | Add Comment |

| Finally! I did my first run in 5 weeks this morning - 2+ miles on the TM at 6% grade. Now I'm off to help out at the Turkey Trot 5k. |

| I got in 2 miles at 5% grade and 1 at 1% grade this morning. Have I mentioned how much I hate treadmills? |

I'm already dreading the TM each day. After another 2 miles this morning I'm mentally ready to be running outside. Maybe if I walk down the steep downhill and stay on flat, stable footing I can try running outside again? I think that's what I'll try tomorrow.
I followed up the 2 mile TM with several minutes on the heavy bag again. That's the only benefit of the TM - the bag is right there when I'm done! |

I decided to try and run outside today on the roads due to my inability to cope with treadmill running. I ran backwards down the steep hill to try and ease the force on my healing foot. I know I'm paranoid after any injury, but that doesn't mean I still didn't feel a little tiny bit of twinginess in my injured arch :)
Anyway it sure was nice to be out in the world running again! |

| What nice weather for a run today! I meant to do only two miles easy, but it was so nice out I ran the 'gate and back' run for 3.7 miles instead. |

| I had a frosty, cool run along the roadway in Eastern Oregon. Cows ran along side me. |

| After getting back from an 8 hour drive I went out for a 5 mile run. I ended up running it a little faster than I've run since I started back up after 5 weeks off. The foot injury that precipitated the 5 weeks off seems to be returning. Argh. |
