12.28.2011 What's up on Wednesday?

Did 10K on the treadmill this morning ... in which there were 3 x 1600m intervals @ 4:30min/km pace.

45 minute walk with brief bouts of run in the a.m. with my mom

0:30 bike/0:15 run brick in the p.m.

Some cool Jakarta 'hood scenes on the walk with Mutti ...

She's 78 and still walks ridiculously briskly for 40-60 minutes every morning.

Mutti walking down a bamboo-lined alley.

A traditional herb-potion seller walking the streets and peddling her wares.

I don't know what these are called, but they're everywhere here, and so pretty-Christmasy.

Greetings!  Love the pictures Yanti!  Thanks! 

Going for a 45 minute tempo/speedplay run tonight after work. =)

I've got to start getting back in the routine of working out, so bear with me for a while. I had a minor foot surgery on Dec.1 to remove a heel spur and have been on crutches since then. This week I've started trying to wean myself off the crutches. My goal is to be off them by Jan 1.  So, my big workout today was going to the grocery store by myself. I didn't use the motor scooter and only used one crutch. I only needed a dozen or so items, so I figured it would be a good outing. I also baked pumpkin scones and chocolate cookies today. Not directly tri-related, but another step to being able to run without heel pain.
