This past week has been interesting, tough, and a great learning experience. My job stress got the better of me and I had a bad week of workouts. Skipped the track on Wednesday night and had a tough time in the pool on Friday. This week has taught me the importance of a positive mental outlook. I have great teammates, who provided invaluable insight and acted as great soundboards. So…. after skipping a workout and having a bad one, I still managed to get two good cycling workouts in and regrouped well for the weekend.
I continued my walk/run routine for the longer run on Saturday. Paul and I got a great run in, rain and all. As a matter of fact, I dreamed last night that we ran a marathon with our run/walk method. The marathon route included a water slide in which we were dumped into a lake and had to swim a bit back onto the race course. Too funny!!! So… as I thought I would do a “recovery” run today on the RCRC Sunday loop, Dave Bange ran with me and kept pushing the pace!! So much for recovery.
My feet continue to hurt and cause me trouble after a run. I have an appointment for acupuncture on Wednesday. The acupuncturist thinks I am a good candidate for this treatment and could get relief. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted.
