Week 25

Well...It has been a long, short week. The week went fast as each day I now have packed full of fun and exciting activities. Mostly, I just look forward to that day I can wake up at any time I want, not have to workout, and not have to even think of working out. September will be here soon, lol. The days seem short when I am trying to get stuff done, but the day ends up being long because I am exhausted by mid day and still have to finish the day. Workouts this week: Monday, I got in a 45 min swim. Tuesday I was on the trainer for 1:30 after I ran in the morning for 45 min. Wednesday I was feeling the effects of the 3 hour bike on Saturday and race on Sunday so I didn't do any "official" training, but did play softball that evening. Thursday, I swam at Raccoon Park for 20 min and then ran for 30. I planned to do an hour, but my feet are bothering me again. This is really starting to get me down. I am going to take it easy now that I have started my taper except for this Saturday's long bike. I might do a 30 min run after if my feet are feeling better. I don't want to push them being I have to run 13.1 miles in a little over a week. The pain in my foot is not in the same place the stress fracture was, but it is very similar pain to that leading up to the fracture. I am hoping it is just the tendons in my foot are a little tired and nothing more. Good thing it is a taper week and I don't have to really do much of anything. Maybe I can wash the 5 mile high pile of clothes in my closet. I have not washed clothes in 5 weeks. Good thing I have an unlimited supply of underwear :) Tonight is a day off. Tomorrow I am heading out with Tribeaner for a 3:45 ride and a 30 min run. Should be a nice workout. It will be really nice to ride some place other than my normal rides. It gets boring riding in the same place over and over. It is also tough to find roads that are not super busy too. Sunday I probably won't workout. I have some things in the yard I need to work on so that will be a nice easy day. I am sure it will rain all day so I will sleep most of it.
