STEPH SPRINT FULL Let's do this thing! StephSprint group FULL! (Page 17)

Slept through the ALS 10k this morning... oops! I wasn't ready anyway, and the charity got my money... so I'm good.

Off to play 18 holes for the Broward Bar Association pre-law program at a school for less fortunate kids. Love this cause and I haven't see my golf friends since last summer! Should be fun.

Tomorrow's brick... 32 miles on the bike, followed by a 3 mile run. Gary.. you in? Cocoplum 7:00 to Blackpoint Marina.

I was with Everglades at the start of that run this am lol. we went over the Key Biscayne bridge (a first for me) and  loved it. I am in for the brick tomorrow where in Cocoplum you want to meet and what pace do you ride? I am will attempt the run but may need to slow up due to the Foot and Ankle but will give it a good go. Tri Miami is next weekend I need the training.

OH NO!  That's terrible!  I hope you heal quickly.  That is not a good Mother's Day. 

So what's up with Ankles and this group?

No workouts since Thursday.

But not for a bad reason.  Went out of town for my son's college grad. My little boy is now all grown up and an Electrical Engineer. Proud mom.  He also has a job.  (Even bigger smile)  Could have done something today, but was tired and decided work in the garden instead.  Now, the ankle is protesting. Oh well.  

I started running on the Alter G last Friday.  Did 10 minutes at 50% body weight.  It was really cool.  I will get to run at each of my PT sessions as long as my ankle behaves.

Yup, the old fashioned way of running up and down the steps which were concrete.  Seemed like such a good idea at the time but probably won't try that again for a while - knees have recovered.

Wow - that is a Mother's Day to remember!  Hope you get extra TLC!

Congrats to your son. You must be so proud!

Happy Belated Birthday!

Oh no!!!  And you were so geared up to get back on track!  Hope it heals soon... did you make it to the mothers day breakfast?

Hope all you moms had a Happy Mother's Day. 

IT Band is feeling better. Rest and roll. Went for an easy 3.5mi run yesterday around the lake. At about 2mi in I developed a nice rub on my foot (didn't wear socks). I took off my shoes and ran the rest unshod. I'm not a barefooter but it was a fun time going slower and feeling the mud, dirt, rocks, and roots.

Last week I felt like my swim was getting worse, only being able to do sets of 500yds, but today I used the catch-up drill and swam ascending sets of 500, 600, then 700yds. Focused on taking my time to set up the stroke and not rushing through it. Feeling better about my swim, but more work is needed.

PS - My kids went swimming in the lake yesterday, but I'm going to wait a few more weeks. BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Did you find the bikers? I'm still sore... I spent Sunday sleeping and feeling crappy. The bridge is great. My early ride is there tomorrow. I hope I can shake whatever this is.

Oh Yes I found them had well over 70 people. I had a great fast ride with them and was ready to rest after lol. I am feeling it now worked all night and back at it already but wanting to head to the Gym to get a swim today will need to see if I can stay awake for it.

I am back from my long weekend away to do my 10k in Eastern Washington.  Had a GREAT time!

The race went well.  Weather was perfect.  The hills were long, but I am pleased with my time.  I am a jogger, not a runner.   I averaged 11'57" per mile even with the hills, so that is great.

Going over the top of Grand Coulee Dam was really neat.  They weren't spilling water, but it was still amazing!  Beautiful area!

Had a really good time with my friend, too.  We spent the rest of the long weekend at her place.  She has horses, so we went on a horseback ride on Sunday.  Beautiful views out over the valley, just so gorgeous!

Now we are home again, and boy, are our dogs glad to see us!
