Updates, Contest and Records

Tuesday was the longest I've run since April -- 8 miles. I'm hoping to run the same or farther tomorrow.

My foot feels great. I can run 3 days in a row and only feel a tightness in my arch by the end. I'm cycling consistently M/W/F with a spinning workout on Tues and that doesn't smack my energy stores into a black hole like it used to. It is amazing to feel like I'm almost out of this injury. My future for so long was, "Maybe, someday I can hike that trail. Maybe, someday I can go running with you..." Yay! I can hike trails and run with people again! Depending on how this goes, I'm planning to start working on speed after Thanksgiving.

I have since purchased skinny tires for my bike and they are AMAZING! New records:
To Work: 1:05 (i think)
To Home: 57.5

Also, there is another new weight-loss contest at work. Percentage lost is the winner. $100. Ends in December, I think the 14th.

Morning Weight: 148.5
Miles Today: 4.75
Other Exercise: Walking
Total Miles this Week: 105 cycling, 1 swimming, 23.5 running
