A Moment In Time

Linda's turn to blog.  Here it is:

This is my story......July 30th, 2012

 worried about my sore foot....I decide to take a week off before I really injury myself or have my friend Lesley injury me as she has threatened if she see me in San Fran at the finish line in street clothes she will kill me...so then...with a week off.....she leaves town to vacation with her family and me alone without my running or my partner....what will  I do.....  not run....get better....rest my feet.....it's so hard....my head knows it's right, but I WANT TO RUN....I love to run....I am in training....I need to follow the plan....I'll miss a week of running.....Lesley says it's ok....hear her in your head.

After a sleepless Sunday night.....Lesley has been gone a day and I haven't run in a day and a half....I have a plan....
I buy a pump for my bike tires....I get a new bike seat and grips....off I go for a spin around the neighbourhood....I am set to have a few nights of biking.
Monday night 750 meters swimming, 50 lengths of the swimming pool....new goggles and cap as well. As most of you know I need the equipment and to look good.
OK.....it's Monday night.....a swim, a bike ride....no run.....foot feels good.....need to rest a week.....Lesley is in my head......listen to the smart runner in your head and on your left shoulder and you will be a winner.

5 more rest days to go.....until I hope to run again.....
