1st run in 5 weeks
got that first run in since buffalo springs half IM 5 weeks ago. I was a little nervous that my knee issue would pop up immediately but it didnt. my knee is however sore this afternoon but that was to be expected. i ran 3miles and tried to stay at 8min miles but it was tough. the legs became a little fatigued after 2 miles and they were itchy from the blood flow but i was great to run again. i plan to wait a few days and run 4miles on monday. if the run is pain free i will move forward with the longhorn tri. if not, i may see the knee guru again and probably still move forward with the longhorn tri.
trianing has been going good. i am loving the road bike for longer rides lately and my swim workouts feel like some good quality efforts. i hope i will be able to continue to ramp up the biking and add some runs for the last race of the season.
in some other health related news i checked my blood pressure the other day at HEB. i am 114 over 69 and my pulse was 55. for blood pressure you want to be under 120 over 80 so i am looking good. i also recently took a how old are you really test. you answer lots of question about yourself, your diet, exercise, etc and its tells you how old you are. well i am 22 according to the test. i took another one several months ago off oraph's site and it said i was 23. looks like i am still a young buck!
this week wraps up the TDF. i hope levi can have an awesome time trial and sneak a win. we shall see tomorrow. my mom has been in town this past week to help with carson while amber was in maui. we have had a good time except for carson being sick with croup (sp?). we took her to the dr yesterday and i think she is getting better. amber and i saw the movie chuck and larry today and we werent impressed. i did however recently see knocked up and die hard and they were both really good.
