| Sprint (with elliptical instead of run) at the gym again. I think I really love this workout. I'd love it even more if I could do it with the actual run instead of the elliptical. But for now, this will work! :) I pushed myself hard. Loved the endorphin rush I got afterwards. :) Upright bike: 20K/12.4 miles, 39:29 (random/level 3) Elliptical: 5K/3.1 miles, 24:07 (random/level 2) Swim: 750 m/.47 miles, 16:25 (tried to hit sub 16 ... didn't quite happen) ** Doc said I could try a test run tomorrow if there was no focal tenderness and/or pn in my tibia tomorrow. Just checked ... still tenderness. :( | | Comments(9) |

| 4 WONDERFUL - GLORIOUS - GORGEOUS - FUN - HEAVENLY - PAIN FREE miles with Ry on our favorite St. George trail: the Bearclaw Poppy Trail. :) :) :) Everything felt GREAT. I am so happy! We took it nice and slow (good thing: since I am pretty sure any speed that I once had is going to take some time to find). I wanted to run a few more but Ry reminded me that I shouldn't get greedy. Smart! :) Anxious to see how I feel tomorrow. :) | | Comments(9) |

| Saturday's little run felt fantastic but later that afternoon my leg began to ache. The ache extended through the weekend. It wasn't painful, but not quite right. I need a few more days or weeks. We'll see. :( 10 miles upright bike 800 m swim ST: lumbar stability | | Comments(1) |

One of
my best birthdays EVER EVER EVER!!!!!
For starters, woke up early
next to my incredible hubby. Then Fonz and Ashton took me out for a nice
birthday breakfast at Eggs in the City before my classes. School was great and
included Rice Crispy treats and a very nice Physical Therapy approved massage.
When I arrived back home it was present time. As usual, Ry spoiled me rotten!!!
After presents the inaugural Birthday Olympic Tri began. Upon meeting at my
house Annie presented me with the best trophy ever, yes, even before the race
began (let it be known that the trophy was not so much a result of Annie truly believing that I am "pretty much the coolest person ever" but is the aftermath of my incessant texts to her telling her that I am pretty much the coolest person ever -- hee hee -- I love having an SIL who puts up with me and who I LOVE to be with)!!!! I was simply loving life!!! Seriously, I am so stinkin' spoiled!!!!
The participants were as
follows: me, Rylee (my daughter), Smooth, Annie and Fonz (who actually
surprised us at the gym -- so cool). I had more fun than I could have
imagined!! We made a few modifications, such as swimming last (for those of us
swimming) and substituting the swim portion with either the elliptical or
basketball (for those of us not swimming). This was my first attempt at an
Olympic Tri (although at a gym it is certainly easier than a real tri) and I
learned a lot!!!
1st: They are INCREDIBLY fun
when you are surrounded with people you love!!! I have the best friends in the
world. I am POSITIVE about this!!!
2nd: Starting out full speed
ahead is probably not the smartest way to go but sure makes things interesting.
3rd: Smooth is so much fun on
the bike!! She keeps you laughing the whole time!!!! :)
4th: When Rylee is in a zone
she doesn't want to talk to anyone!!!! It's all business, baby!!!
5th: You should never forget to
bring your swimming cap and goggles when you have 1500 meters to swim (I can't
believe I did this: Ry was a good sport and brought them over to me WAY fast --
only lost a few minutes on this minor technicality.) :) :) :)
6th: There is a reason that
most tris have you start with the swim. (After my first 700 meters my ipod
broke. I stopped to see if I could make it turn on. When I couldn't Fonz gave
me his swimming music device. I then started to swim again and my calves
literally seized up like they had never done before. Had I been in open water I
have no idea what I would have done. Annie tried to rub them out ... they were
going crazy. Luckily after just a couple of minutes everything was under
control again. I have NO idea why they cramped up. It was bizarre.)
7th: Annie is a
kick trash swimmer!!! DANG that girl is good!!!
8th: I can't beat Fonz at
anything ... even when he has a sports hernia and has to basically doggy paddle
as to not irritate it too much!!
9th: I SO SO SO want to do this
for real. I need to buy a bike asap and get over my fear of getting hit by a
car. :)
And 10th: Next year I need to
convince Ry into joining us. Seriously, SO MUCH FUN!!!!
** After the tri we all went to
my house where Ry had set up some good eats (which included the most delish
cake ever compliments of Annie's baking prowess)!!! :) We chatted and enjoyed
each others' company until midnight thirtyish. I was sad to see my birthday
pass as it was one of the best ever!!! 
Come to find out -- if you keep reminding people that you are "pretty much the coolest person ever" (a couple dozen texts telling them such should do the trick) then they will give you a trophy proving you were right all along!!!!! :) :) :) 
Rylee * Fonz * Me * Annie * Smooth ***************************************************************** Just some numbers so that I can keep track: TT (including transitions, waiting for swimcap/goggles, and time spent cramping) 2:53:00 Bike (40K/24.8 miles) 1:11:53 (way too fast ... but I had the bike set for an easy program) Run (10K/6.2 miles) 53:06 (leg did fine) Swim (1500 m) roughly 41 minutes (hopefully without the mishaps in the future I will be able to take a good 5-8 minutes off of this ... but who knows) :)

| 8.5 miles ST: lower leg MWOD: 'ungluing the sticks' ************ So, when I run there is no pain, just a slight tugging feeling which I realize could simply be the tissues stretching to where they should be (but it still freaks me out a bit). Then later in the day it starts feeling not quite right, but not painful. I suppose I will continue to run just a few days a week until all that goes away. |

Pretty disappointed today. Focal tenderness on tibia again. Blah. I figured that since there was no pain/tenderness yesterday that I was in the clear. Should have run a shorter distance. The pace felt easy and the leg felt great, but I think I just got too greedy. I had initially told myself that I would not run more than four or five miles. I should have stuck with the plan instead of thinking all was fine. Need to be more cautious. Also need to eat better and get more sleep. :) ***************************************** Is anyone involved with or know of a race that would like a booth set up with six Physical Therapy Doctorate students from the University of Utah equipped with information (both verbal and written) regarding the most common running related injuries? (This is part of a service learning project for a class. We would like the race to be either in the Spring or Summer of 2012.)
* Thank you for all of the suggestions. We will have a booth at the Riverton Half Marathon on March 31, 2012. Hope to see you there!!! :)

Turkey Tri (Olympic distance) with Annie! :) :) :) (Seriously ... I have the best SIL in the whole entire world!!!!!) Bike: 40K/24.8 miles, 1:16:45 (random/2, didn't push nearly as hard as I did on my birthday in hopes that I wouldn't cramp when we got in the water) Run: 10K/6.2 miles, 51:03 Swim: 1.5K/.94 miles, 33:xx My transitions were slow giving me a TT: 2:55:xx, roughly 2 minutes slower than on my birthday. BUT ... no cramping in the pool, the run and swim were faster, and I felt AWESOME afterwards. Leg still is not 100% and it gets achy. I wish the healing were faster, but at least it is healing. I will stick with the low mileage for now. :) 
Annie and Teena - after our Turkey Tri ... still smiling but WAY hungry!! :)
