Foot Vibes Indeed
You guys are the best. My foot had sooooo many foot vibes it had no choice but to listen! And the sucker actually feels a little better! HA! It didn't know what hit him! Regardless, thanks for your comments and show of support. You guys rock.
This morning I was supposed to run but had already decided I was going to run in the water instead. And so run in the water I did. I haven't done that in a while but I have to say, it's like riding a bike. You don't really forget how.
I was only supposed to run for 45 minutes so that's all I did in the water this morning although I threw in 5x3 minutes hard w/2 minutes rest to pass the time and in an attempt to get my heart rate up some. I think I could do intervals every time I pool run and it would be okay - just like swimming. So that was that, workout one and easy on the foot.
After work I rushed over to the shop in an attempt to get my 2 hour ride in before pilates. I rode inside on the CompuTrainer - the 2nd ride in the CompuTrainer Challenge series that I'm in. This was a 25K ride that was supposed to be done in zone 2. I rode the course the first time through as a warmup and then did the actual ride in 47:58. My HR average was in my zone 2 so that was good. All around a good ride. I was working but I wasn't killing myself. Anyway, all that added up to about 1:45 of riding, not quite the 2 hours I was supposed to do, but good enough since I had to hurry off to pilates.
Pilates today was all about the abs and back (aka the core) and boy was I feeling it! That's good though. That's where I need the most help.
And now I'm super sleepy and about ready to fall asleep on my computer. Good sign that it's time to go to bed! :) Tomorrow I have a swim/lifting/ride planned. Thursday is the next time I am supposed to run so I'll wait until then to decide how my foot feels. In the mean time...those foot vibes are doing some magic!

I never had a chance to send my good foot vibes yesterday, so I just wanted to send more your way.
Great job on all of the training you've been doing -- it's awesome to "watch" someone who is truly on a mission!

That wouldn't be Chester that's acting up again, would it?

AHHHH!!!! I had forgotten about Chester! No, same foot as Chester but different area. In that case I think the foot earns a new name. :)
