Keep tossing a nice long bike ride before it gets too windy around in my head. My legs still ache here and there on me and I'm wondering if a rest day an just the 5k tonight is the better choice. It's gonna be stormy tomorrow-have spin class and a couple clients. Tiff and I are going to the forest Saturday for atleast one lap but would like to go a little more then 8 miles planning on taking Andi so will kinda see how she does. Most she has done is 8 and ill need to brin her water too. Guess ill decide if I'm gonna be a slacker in the next few or ill get stuck out there in 30+ mph winds

So I have now spent almost 2 hours online ordering cycling clothes. I have not bought new cycling shorts or tanks for many many years but always buy running stuff and normal stuff. I dont even get to wear my normal clothes ofter but wear the hell outta the running stuff so with double ironman training in the very very near future 50 miler in a couple weeks, Tosrv a couple weeks after that and TTT the week after TOSRV then begins the training its time to invest so I spent way too much but have ordered some good stuff...lets see how it feels on when it arrives.

Couldnt stand it was too pretty outside, I weed eated cleaned house some and finally took Andi out to walk at Lampblack...payed in the creeks and she had a great time

Ran the local 5K and stayed with my friend Pete so he wouldnt stop and walk...he did a 5K last month but hasnt been running barely at all. Tried to keep his pace steady and about 1.5 miles he tried to fall back and I said I will kick your ass if you fall back or walk and I stayed this slow with you haha tried to get him to sprint the last half mile but didnt get him moving faster till about a tenth of a mile to go...was really proud of him! as hot as it was and as bad as I sweat I barely broke a sweat which kinda scares me....I shouldnt have felt that good! lol

JFK Number

1823 Jennifer Hatcher 45 F PORTSMOUTH OH Opted for the early start again since Im slow as a snail! Will be interesting- I'll have about 5-6 weeks recovery after the Double Ironman and have the Day of the Dead 4 marathons series Oct 31thru Nov 3rd. Glad there is no time limit for that-the medals are too cool and it gets me 3 more states :) Wonder if 100 mile run recovery will be the same as double ironman recovery?

Saturday - April 13

Run

1h 04m 43s
4.54 miles
14m 15s /Mi

mowed the front yard then took andi to lampblack...did a nice fast walk with some slow jogging in there. I only went to the top of the hill which was so weird as my OCD usually requires me to continue on down and touch the fence but I didnt wanna push since I was jogging some and its hilly. Toes still really sore from the blistering, the big toe still hasnt come off and lots of red puss comes out from under each of them. Hoping my feet will feel ok in my bike shoes tomorrow to take a lap out in the forest road...may hurt to pedal but will give it try
