mirely a flesh wound

I thought that my leg blew up today. Other than being a little chilly, this was a great run. However at mile 5 or 6, I felt something like a charlie horse in my calf. ((Is it spelled like the animal?) weird). I walked for a min then it was fine so I ran again. But the little booger came back. I felt a weird pop and then a pain that I haven't experienced since I lost my knee cap in wrestling. I am still not sure what happened. I will go and visit my sister the PT on Monday if it still hurts, but as of now it still hurts.
Wonder how much it will affect my paint balling skills tomorrow?
Good runs today folks. See you all on Tuesday.

Long time gone

The title applies to both parts of this post:

Wow, I am not sure if anyone missed me but I was on vaca last week in Cancun MEX. It was a totally awesome time. I was able to go repelling, zip lining, kayaking, jet skiing snorkeling, and so much more. I was only able to get one 3 mile run in the whole time, but it was to some ancient Mayan ruins then up the tallest Mayan temple in the Yucatan peninsula and back. It was amazing. Travis and I truely got lucky getting in on this trip.

Now on to the run for this week. Again, I will start out with a big fat WOW!!! Who would have thought in the beginning of this training that they would have made it to twenty miles? I knew this day would come. Let me tell you my friends, this one was rough on me. I felt great to about mile 15, but things went down hill rapidly after that. My hammies started tightening up and aching. My right knee hurt only when I stepped with it. And i was cheering on Aaron using the name Mike for the LAst 7 miles. I was quite emabrrassed when I found out.

But I made it. Lisa and I even mustered up the last bit of energy in our bodies to finish strong.

I think the thing that made the day the absolute best was seeing my husband, daughter and dog at the park in the desert. They came up and met me on the trail.

Number of pee breaks on the run---2

crossing the finish with your friends---Priceless

Thanks Team Bean

Thrusdays are the best

I am not sure why, but I always feel great on Thursdays. I thought I would finally snag a pic of Team Bean before the marathon was all over. So here we are.

Ok, they I felt I needed to show the three hotties in the group.

Then I caught mr paparazzo himself.
