6:51 am	workouts Sunday: I spent about 4 hours on and off the bike. I started having trouble clicking my left foot out of the pedals toward the end. I was helping stragglers, so I was one of the last people off the course. I really like being a bike-mounted course monitor at Umstead. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Monday: Gym upper and lower: ran 4 miles Tuesday: Date night! Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

7:08 pm	First Brick! Sunday: I had a lovely brunch with mom, Jason, my brother John, and my nephew Atticus. After the food settled a bit, I went out to Umstead Park. I ran for an hour, changed shoes, then I biked for 50 minutes. I have never done a long combination workout before. My foot can no longer take the pounding of a two hour run, so this seems like an excellent way to get LSD (long slow distance) without hurting myself. I am not training for anything longer than a 10k this year anyway. Current Mood: jubilant (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:55 pm	Friday and Saturday Friday: walked around downtown - First Friday! Saturday: 5 miles at Lake Johnson - felt ok - got tired at the end - found my tempo pace I know tempo pace by feel, but I have no clue what that pace actually is (by the numbers). It is dry out there and the dirt is flying. I am covered in schmutz from head to toe. Current Mood: dirty (Comment on this)

5:01 pm	Saturday and Sunday Saturday I helped a friend move from one third floor apartment to another third floor apartment. I could have worked out, but I was tired and my form would've been terrible. Instead, I went shoe shopping. I got some running shoes that do not irritate my bone spur so much. Welcome to the family (of running shoes that litter my floor) Brooks Adrenaline! Sunday is a workout extravaganza! I rode my bike from Godbold park to Cemetery Hill and back; it took about 2 hours. I stretched and had lunch, then I went to the gym. I worked upper and lower body, and I tested my new shoes by running and walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes: about a mile and a half. The Adrenalines are not perfect, but they are a huge step in the right direction. Current Mood: pleased (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:09 pm	Thursday and Friday Jason's dad came into town Thursday night. Tearing through the house with a vacuum cleaner in a vain attempt to keep the dust bunnies at bay before company arrives could be considered exercise. Not sure how to log that, but it's duly noted. Friday, I ran 5 miles at Lake Johnson. I felt draggy. This feeling is common if I try to run on the first or second day of my period. Ha! Bet you did not see that TMI coming, gotcha;-) Current Mood: mischievous (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:45 am	Sweet and sour Monday: gym upper and lower - 2.7 miles on the treadmill Tuesday: off - visited orthopedist - my foot needs surgery, no question:-( My orthotic set-up is good for now, but my big toe will only get worse if it is not fixed. At least, my knee seems to be responding to all the gym work. Current Mood: nervous (Comment on this)

9:13 pm	A week of "firsts" These are not first time events, but they have not happened in a while. This past week is my first 20 mile week since December 2009. Also, Saturday I ran 7 miles (not including warm-up and cool down). I ran for an hour and 23 minutes. The purpose of this workout was to go the distance slow and easy. With that time, this run was a resounding success! After my run, Jason and I bombed on up to Floyd, VA. We attended a wine reception on Sunday with Jason's dad, Chip, and Sheree. We are back home trying to get ready for the week. Current Mood: hopeful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:10 am	I walked a lot and ran 5.5 miles yesterday, both knees achy again. It's is time to go back to the ortho. There is a walking competition at work. Maybe I am taking it too seriously. Current Mood: thoughtful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:13 pm	Good run today The 5 mile loop at Lake Johnson felt good today. I'm getting more power from the ground up through my legs. I think my legs just have to get used to my new gait. My knees ached a little, but it was negligible. The pace was mostly easy with a half mile tempo and 100 meters hard. The temperature was 65 degrees F with low humidity. I have to work in a little casual speed practice now before it gets too hot and humid. My left arch aches a little, I'll ice it as a precaution. Current Mood: pleased (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:13 pm	Friday and Saturday Friday was a day off. I walked around downtown. Had a beer at Natty Greene. The beer was good; I had the amber. The menu looked like standard bar food. Maybe I'll try something later, but what I saw did not excite me. Saturday: Weights upper and lower - 30 minutes on the elliptical machine - worked in the yard Current Mood: busy (Comment on this)
