I pulled weeds yesterday for like an hour. And I hate squating to that so it was like I was doing a million deadlifts. yes my hammies are screaming.

Today I printed a training schedule for the 1/2 in November. 18 weeks away. I'm a little upset that it only goes up to mileage for the week of 19. But maybe that is a good thing? The race is nice and flat so that shouldn't bug the IT (if that decides to rear up again) or the achilles. I"m just not sure of how 'careful' to be. I feel like I"m going backwards. Most of the traininng is only 3 days a week (with cross training) but I know me and I hate x-training. Thoughs? I printed this up from RW site. Maybe I should change it from moderate to something else. Or just every week add in an extra 2 or 3 miler? then atleast I would have 4 days. Help!

I really like running with my one friend we always stick to a consistant pace. I'm not sure how she does it but I"m good with it.

 

Does any one know how to print a garmin map?

I put inserts in the shoes. Didn't really notice adifference. Still hurt for the first mile or so. I also did push-ups, abs, and squats before hoping that would loosen things up. Walked the dogs, iced the achilles, took some motrin.

did my toe walk before and after the run. Stretched. Walked dogs and sweated my boobs off. It is really hot here and the air is super thick. And I think our air is breaking...sooo I"m waiting for the AC guy to come look at it.

I went to bed with a huge headache. Thank goodness I didn't wake up with it.

2 miles in the hot hot heat. I woke up early so I would miss the 7am heat adivsory that will be over at 4am friday. wuteva!

Boob sweat wasn't a huge issue without a shirt on. That was nice.

1.25 mile walk with the dogs

heel/toe walk before and after. 40 push ups. planks left and right and regular. 50 squats.

today the achilles felt super. Even when I hopped out of bed today it didn't feel all tight like normal. So I will keep on doing what I have been doing! yeah!

my achilles hurt for the first 1.25 miles. I had taken 2 motrin before I left the house so maybe that is when it kicked in.
