Thanks for all the well wishes y'all rock!

How long is recommended for running shoes?  I've been wearing the pair I ave since August and by the end of the race they were feeling a bit thin, it felt like I could feel every crack in the road or is that just usual foot soreness during a race?

Had planned to start my HIM training today but still a bit chafed so will see how it goes on the bike today, was going to stretch a 12 week plan to a 14 so I can delay if I need to.  I'm still enjoying the accomplishment so I want to get that positive energy right into the HIM training to get me into the groove.

You should at least get 375ish all the way up to 700-800. The higher miles if you have a more efficient stride. 500 seems to be the rule of thumb, though. There are a lot of variables including your weight and the type of shoe. If it is a racing flat, it will be on the lower end for sure.

As for me--I did a 25 mile bike followed by a 3/4 mile run---basically 2 hours...yesterday. I t felt great, with no residual pain today (always a good thing.). Today was my rest day, but as I have few actual FULL days off from work and school left, I NEEDED to go birdwatching (another passion I have). Clint and I hightailed it about 75 miles out of Sacramento to Willows at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge--There were a good amount of birds there--I got to see a few bald eagles (always cool), and tons of ducks and other birds of prey. We also did their wetland walking tour (the rest is a 6 mile car tour)--so we walked for about 40 minutes. On our way home we stopped by one of the local Indian Casinos, where we lost about $30...Thankfully, Clint won $80 in blackjack, but it didn't cover the last $30 we had spent. It was a nice break though.

Tomorrow I have a workout (I think its a spin bike workout--something about using only one leg for power???), but after that we're hitting the nearby movie theater--Tuesdays are $5 movie day! We're planning on 3 movies....Yeah, we ARE party animals on our vacation!

I know, I know, truth be told you guys might be better off without me on occasion ... but you know how I like to worry and how I hate to miss the Manatee Partee!

Enjoy your back-down week. Those are sometimes the hardest, though!

jimmyb - 2012-01-17 10:59 AM I usually go 3-4 months or 400 miles roughly between new shoes. Often it's not my feet that feel it, but rather my knee might hurt or my back before I sense pain in my feet. Now rather than wait for discomfort I just buy new shoes and it works pretty well.

X2 

Asalzwed - 2012-01-17 12:15 PM I have a confession to make. During my sick day yesterday I watched the Justin Bieber documentary. There. I said it. I feel better.

The Dayquil you took must have done funny things to you.

Heh, I once caught my husband watching Matlock on a sick day.  Glad your feeling better.  

Asalzwed - 2012-01-17 12:14 PM

Oh my goodness that is a fantastic excuse!! Thank you!

Clint and I only made it to one movie today, as he decided to get some golf going before a massive-gigantic amount of rain hits us on Weds. night....Soooo we decided to go see "The Devil Inside"--we were both looking forward to it cause the radio/tv commercials made it sound SUPER creepy and well done--I mean, exorcism movies can be excruciatingly creepy--which I like. This one...not so much...lots and lots of build up with a couple sorta graphic bits every here and there, and SHAKY CAMERA!!!! (I HATE HATE HATE shaky camera--I will literally turn off shows and movies that don't have stable camera work....I'm telling you, it was basically Blair Witch Project 2012! Ug. On the bright side, we only wasted $5 on it...We SO should have gone to Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, or The Muppets.

On the bright side, I got my training in (yay me), got the house ( well the cat room anyway) cleaned up and prepared for the cat we are adopting on Thursday....

Tomorrow, we're taking a trip to the Bay Area to look at a Natural History Museum and then hike around the Marin Headlands--should be fun!
