About Me

After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!

Ouch!

I have done something to my left foot and I don't know what. Not too terribly painful, but certainly uncomfortable, and the fact that running makes it worse has me a little concerned. Did a 10 miler with Alicia this morning - our training for San Francisco - and started bothering me about 7 miles in. Was able to push through, but now wondering if I didn't just make it worse!

Felt pretty good on the run this morning. We're planning on adding 30 minutes to our long runs each week, and building up to probably 5 or 5 1/2 hours before tapering down. Feeling good about the marathon, just a little worried about the hills and the time alloted (6 hours). Hoping I can finish, but thinking with the stepped-up training this time around, and my motivation, I can hang :)

For now, guess I'll do some icing on my foot, rest as much as possible, and try to get some bike rides in to enhance leg muscles. Still feeling elated from the Tri last week, and looking forward to my second Olympic-length in about 4 more weeks. Woo Hoo!
