Read some more about technique and I think I am doing this better. At least I felt like it was harder than the last time so that is good.

Official times for my 5k from over a week ago are FINALLY posted so the race report is done now. That took awhile!

Wednesday - June 20

Bike

1h 20m 38s
19.56 miles
14.55 Mi/hr

a.m. commute. 23:57, 5.63 miles, 14.1 mph average.

p.m. commute. 56:41, 13.93 miles, 14.75 mph average.

Not the planned miles, but at least some miles. Was going to do the longer route in the a.m., but it was pretty foggy early so I chose the shorter route. I was wanting to do a 20-25 mile ride on the way home, but I left work late and then had to run into town to do an errand before heading home. So the first couple miles on the ride home were in stop and go traffic, but I didn't separate them out.

Well this might be good news. I was really doubtful that I was going to be able to do our local triathlon next month BUT now there is a possibility of putting together a relay team with me on the bike leg. :) :) This might just work. If it doesn't pan out, maybe I will just volunteer.

Sunday - June 17

Back on the disabled list. About a week ago, I noticed some soreness in my left achilles which is opposite the one that has been giving me all the trouble for the past 11 months. I was hoping with lots of icing and cutting way back on my volume that it would be ok. Ok cutting back on volume. That is so funny. I run around 10-12 mpw. [sarc]Yep, I've been really going all out on my mileage.[/sarc] Jeez! It felt ok during my 2am jog around the track yesterday. Maybe it was all the dancing and cheering? All I know is that it is VERY sore today. I'm not going to push it any further so me and my bike are going to be best friends until further notice. I guess the pool is calling me too.

Saturday - June 16

Run

11m
1.20 miles
09m 10s /Mi

2am Time and distance estimated. Ran 4 laps during my hour-long walking shift.

Sport

Walking
2h 45m

Relay for Life walking. 2am to 3:10am. 5am to 6:15am. And a couple 15-20 minute stints between 8:30am and 11am.

All night party. We danced, cheered and rang cowbells so much. Thought I might have slightly pulled my hamstring during one of the dance songs, but feels ok now. LOL! DJ played dance music all night long. We got admonished by one of the nearby campsites for ringing our cowbells too loud at about 12:30am. We did tone it down some after that. Actually after 3am we pretty much took turns walking and napping until our relief crew started showing up at 6am. Didn't start the cowbells and cheering back up until after 8am. The walking wasn't bad, but I think the dancing and cheering did me in. :) :) :) :)
