Well, today's half was nothing to write home about. I felt great through mile 10 and was even well ahead of my planned pace. Then I stepped into a pot hole and the knee went postal at mile 11. Since this was a nice to do run, I decided to walk the rest of the way in. I'm icing and chewing advil and the swelling has gone down. The race itself was incredibly well done for a local event. The volunteers were mostly from the high school lacrosse teams and cheerleading squads. Those kids did a terrific job and made the race a lot more fun. So, this is one to keep on the future race list. Big shout out to the kids at mile 5/10 who were handing out bottled water and home made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You were the best!!!! Now it is time to regroup and get the knee back on track. MCM is the focus now for the rest of the year. OH NO KIM!!!!! Sorry to hear you hurt your knee. Rest Rest Rest! Then rest some more. Rest Ice Compression Elevation for the next few days! MCM start line trained, prepared, uninjured!!!!! Glad to hear the race was a good one though! I will be at MCM with you Ann. It was that goal that made me quit pushing and walk to the finish. Apart from the knee, I feel much better than I did after last month's half mary. Cardio and leg strength are getting stronger. Just got to work on the knee. I put a call into my PT this afternoon. That's AWESOME! |

Elite 3144 | Subject: RE: Stretch it out in May Ghoulies! Good evening Ghoulies! I hope everyone's having a nice weekend. Unfortunately today was a good news/bad news kind of day. The good: my race. The bad: everything else. I'll stick to the good though... Today was my 4 mile race over the Coronado Bay Bridge (see below), which I've been wanting to do for about 10 years now. I was hoping for 30 min/7:30 per mile pace. Unfortunately, the only mile marker they had up was at mile 3 so I had NO idea what my pace was up until then and couldn't get splits. I was psyched to pass it at 22:30 though, putting me right on pace after the descent. I ended up finishing in 29:19, 41 seconds under my goal. I'm hoping this is a good indicator of what I can expect for my pace at my tri next month. Yes, today's run was shorter and it wasn't following a swim and bike, but it included a 1 mile, 200 foot ascent that definitely burned just a tad. I'd like to go back and catch up on the thread, but I'm honestly not feeling that great and need to get dinner going soon. I'm making chicken, asparagus, and pasta tonight. Not too creative, but it sounds good so I'll deal with it. Take care everyone, have a great evening, and I'll try to actually show up when some of you are around here in the next couple days. P.S. I came in 33/283 in my AG!

| Pro 4482 NJ | Subject: RE: Stretch it out in May Ghoulies! Morning everybody. Today should be another nice day weather wise. My legs feel terrific this morning, but I have golf ball size swelling on the knee.  No pain though, just stiff. Work should be quiet so I can ice and elevate in my office. |

Well Field Day isn't scheduled to start for another hour and a half and it is already raining. There are only 15 days left of school and several field trips to fit in. They weather is calling for rain the next 3 days, then again next week already. I don't know if they'll get the second half of Field Day in or not. If they don't have it today I plan on spending a lot of time in the gym. I weighed myself this morning, the first in a long time, and I am not happy at all with the number I saw! |

Field Day has been postponed until May 27th. The good news is I have today off work. I think I'm going to do a few things around the house, then I need to go pick up a pair of new swim goggles and see if I can get some KT Tape, then I'm going to head to the college for a total body workout. Weight lifting and a swim are calling my name today. |

Not sure why that is, but there is a real difference. I just bought a couple rolls of blue since my new kicks are blue. My tri-suit is red, so as soon as the season starts I'm switching to red. Have a great day off.  |
