Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD (Page 9)

I did it--my run, that is...6.02 miles in 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 22 seconds....not my fastest, but this is the first time in a long time that I have ran a full 6 miles...I guess I better get used to it with the multiple Olys. in my future!

One question: When I run, I have found that the IT band on my right side--as well as my right quad, right hammy, and right heel---okay, my right lower side!---is generally in pain afterwords--not on a permanent or even long term basis, but for a few hours afterwords....Any ideas why, or how I can fix it? It happens no matter the age and usage of my shoes (new, old, it doesn't matter)--so I don't think its my shoes; I tend to strike mid-sole too, if that helps.

Well, I didn't go right away, but I did get out there.  Just 6km, but my first run since the HM last Sunday...

Ahhh hahaha, zing!

Good morning Manatees! I have a great story to share about my son. 

Over the weekend I bought him a pair of bike shoes.  He's been using my old pedals that have a platform on one side and clips on the other and has been asking for bike shoes. After we got the bike shoes I suggested he go to the nearby elementary school to practice clipping/unclipping in the safety of a parking lot. Well sunday he went out in front of the house and tried it a few times then came back in.  Maybe it's a guy thing, I don't know, but yesterday he decided to go out for a full blown ride with the new shoes, without much practice.  He came home a while later with a bloody knee and several scrapes and explained that he'd started on the pavement where he fell twice (both were the typical slo-mo tip), then he went offroad (he has a hybrid) where he fell a couple more times.  But each time he got back on and kept going! I am so proud of him!

This is me n my son after my first tri...

What is that bright orb at the top of your graphic?  I didn't think you got the bright orb in Canuckistan ?

Morning Manatees!  I have my coffee and am waiting for my lab meeting to start.  It was supposed to start at 9:30 and I'm the only one here.

I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon this afternoon.  Then, I'm hoping I have enough energy tonight to go to the gym and do some running on the treadmill.  It's supposed to be 100+ again today.  Not so much fun for running outside.

This is why it is news!  Right now, it is absolutely pouring. 

Awwwww! Great picture!

Freekin' men! Don't get me wrong guys, I love you but sheeesh that ego thing!

When I was running with the Brooks team over the weekend I can't tell you how many dudes flew past me only for me to see them like a mile down the trail laying on the ground nursing a cramp. 

Sounds like maybe he takes after his mom in the perseverance clumsy & stubborn dept? 

So when is his 1st tri?  

It doesn't matter how many times you fall. It matters how many times you get back up.  Great job!!!

Damn...that means it's coming for us next. It's actually really nice this morning here.
