.. and I feel great!!
Some comment-worthy moments:
- a perfect evening on Monday. P and I had a relaxed 45 minute moonlit run, followed by tuna, leek and pea risotto, crusty baked bageutte and pinot gris. MMMM!
- falling into the pool on Tuesday night, with my goggles still sitting on my cap, and my drink bottle in hand! I couldn't stop laughing.
- an easy but hilly run and a good catch up with C
- getting back into my Pump classes. They kicked my butt big time, but I'm feeling buffer and hawter already!
- long run with A around the coast in the sun; some small hills and a bit of undulation. 18.27 miles, 2.50 total time, 9:18 av pace (faster than goal, but not faster than FIRST's suggested goal), talking all the way. I'll take it :-)
- seeing P in his hot bike jersey riding past just after our last turnaround. always makes me happy :-)
- coming home, sipping a smoothie, reading Harry Potter... (awesome that we get it FIRST living in NZ!)
On a more sober note, my heel hurts. I remember this happening after some Rotorua long runs, but it cleared up and I never got it checked out. It just feels like a small bruise inside my heel. Anyone had this? I think it just needs ice and rest, but want to make sure I'm not being completely negligent!

It could be a bruise...sometimes I get them on my heels if I step on anything while running. If it doesn't go away after ice and rest, you'll probably want to get it checked out.
Feeling HAWT after a pump class....
Pricless! :-)
Falling into the pool ??? .... you know you should not really attempt to swim intoxicated :)
Sounds like you had a great week
BTW ... do you know of any other Kiwi Triathlon blogs ... like to find someone doing the Tauranga Half Ironman.
Keep on blogging
Mike
Mike- you were the first Kiwi I found, and I've only found runners since then. So if you find someone doing the half, send me the link!
Thanks for your comment on my blog! was feelin a bit lonely in my kneck of the woods. Sounds like you had a great week. I LOVE weeks like that.
Sounds like a great week. Could your heel be plantar fasciitis? Make sure your stretching adequately. I love how our memories sharpen around our training sessions. Like adding color to our lives.
could be a bone bruise or plantar fascitis. Stretch and ice!
Glad training is going well for you!
Good week, you're getting some good long runs it. Keep up the good work.
I have a bruised heel too. Keep icing it. Probably needs some rest to come totally right but I guess you wont be wanting to do that right now eh.
