I had a great run today - especially considering that my motivation was absolutely non-existent. I really thought that today would be one of those days where I went out, ran .01...maybe .02, and then called it good. But I got out there and my music was really fun (I downloaded some stuff from Walk Off the Earth) and the day was just absolutely beautiful. So the entire run was super fun, actually.
And I did it! I ran all the way up Texas without walking at all. I wasn't planning that so that makes it extra exciting. I just kept saying, "Well, I think I can make it to the next light pole......oh, I bet I could get to the next one now." And then I was at the top!
Last week when I did it my time was 11.33 and today it was 11.30, so not a major change. But that's OK.
I also lifted weights and did some ab stuff today. Oh, and calf raises. I think I forgot to tell you that I practically crippled myself with those last week! So I did fewer today. Guess I should ease myself into that.
Also, Bart and I did 2.27 yesterday!

Wow! Bet you are tired this morning. That's a lot for one day. And congrats to Bart, too! I'm not sure what calf raises are.
I am starting to feel like such a sloth here. Don't like it. Heel bothered me some yesterday afternoon but I was on my feet all morning and all afternoon. I'm icing it 3 times a day and Tuesday will be the last day for the prednisone pills. Then another week of rest and we'll see. Thought about riding my bike but I haven't decided. Didn't ask the Doc about that and it's going to cool off again starting Wednesday. Highs after that mid-day will only be in the 40's so morning's will be cold.
Yeah, I was tired!
Biking in the 40s doesn't sound enjoyable. And it's low impact but who knows how it will stretch whatever it is that you really don't want her to press again!
