Won a GREAT softball game last night...wooo hooo.  The girls played awesome.  1-0 in 11 innings.  So we are still in the playoffs. 

Have to get going today....don't want to but I am sitting here doing this in hopes of it motivating me to get the day started...not sure it is working yet.  Planning on a 4-5 miler later this morning and have a 14 miler scheduled for Sunday...Haven't run that far in about 15 years...gonna be fun (in a sick, twisted and perverted sort of way)

Garmin was not charged but I know the mileages on the trail by now.  Got in 5 before our game and ran mostly on the dirt trails.  Went about 8/1 and felt great...except for tripping on a root in the trail and busting my a$$.

Strange run today...tried out the new IPod...I like some HipHop....but not all of it...might have to hit the delete buttom....but one of my softball players was kind enough to load it sooooooo. (BTW...thanks Kacey :)  )  First 3 miles were a breeze...didn't walk much (15/1) then the 4th mile was just hard and mile 5....SUCKED....But I got through it and this is the week that I start ramping up the weekly mileage so I needed to get this in.

I am convinced that when I am having a bad day (between my ears) it is the best thing I can do to get out and train....but damn...it is soooo hard to do that..today was not a great day mentally but I did get out and for that I am greatful..tomorrow I go and see Dr. GoodHands...so I hope that makes me feel better.

  • 10.00 miles
  • 12m 09s /Mi
Ran at the river with Dr. GoodHands...neither of us would have run today were it not for the other...we both needed some motivation.  Felt very good (4/1) then 3/1 @ about 7.5).  Felt like a much better run than the 7.1 on Friday.  I feel like my fitness is returning and we should be back on track with the long runs by next weekend.

12 months from today I will participate in Augusta 70.3.  The first branded Half Ironman in Ga.  This will be my 57th birthday and is a hugh goal for me and quite a reach for someone who just did their first sprint this past June..I am so glad that Dr. GoodHands got me into triathlons.  It has helped my physical and emotional health so much...but it has been a life saver for my mental health....THANK YOU Dr. S      :)  :)

Run
  • 1h 16m 09s
  • 7.11 miles
  • 10m 42s /Mi

Not a great run (at Suwanee Greenway).  My mind was very full of distractions and couldn't focus on the run and my form...when I got back to thinking about what I was doing I realized how much I was hurting...then I couldn't stop thinking about that...WTF.  On a positive note...I got 7+ miles in and am scheduling 8-10 on Sunday....Biking tomorrow.

Today is Gd #2's 6th birthday...she was soooo sweet this morning...why can't they go from 6 years old straight to 25/married/employed/living on their own....I'm just saying.
