February 25 – March 3, 2013 Total Miles: 15.2
March 4 – March 24, 2013 Total Miles: 0.00
It’s been a while. Yep, you are reading that right. 0.00 miles for the last 3 weeks. After my run on March 2 my ankle hurt. I did not really think anything of it. It was tender on the 3rd and 4th and I had to travel to Denver on business that week. It really started bothering me on the plane, and when I got to the hotel to see what was going on, this what was what I saw.

| Well, there's your problem..... |
No clue what I did. It was a little swollen fir the first day or so, but apparently my foot did not agree with the plane flight. Oddly enough it went away as quickly as it came on. Within a few days of landing back in Sac, everything was fine.
Then like everyone at somepoint, I let one (or more than one truth be told) of the Top 10 excuses derail me for the last few weeks. For those of you not familiar with the top 10, here they are.
- Feeling lazy Single Parenthood
- Not enough time Emotional Tragedy
- Kids draining your energy Serious Injury
- Food addiction Waiting Until tomorrow
- Emotional Eating Just Not Caring
Well, I have decided that it is time to get back to it. I pulled out the huge desk sized calendar and started mapping out training plans for both the SF Giants Race and if I can stay healthy CIM (I really want another crack at that course). The new journey begins next week…with an added twist.
My boss (who is a competitive bike rider) has challenged me to go gluten free for awhile. He has done it over the past month or so and says that it is the cure for what ails you. Now before everyone wants to give me a hard time, hold on a sec. I am the first to admit that removing all gluten will be next to impossible for me. This is going to be about cutting back. Although, since my family is out of town next week I am planning to see if I can go cold turkey for a few days.
Vibrams – Check, Gluten Free – Check , now I just need to start wearing Patchouli cologne and shop at Whole Foods full time and I will be an official Portlander (sorry Portland – it was too easy not to take it)
I also want to have a moment of silence for my Garmin FR70. It had been there since the beginning and ever since going into the water with me during CIM it had never been the same. It finally died this week and even new batteries could not save it. It’s memory will be survived by its replacement, a Gamrin 210. (This means that I have now joined the world of GPS technology. No more relying on just the foot pod. Woo Hoo!)
It’s good to post something again. It makes me remember why I started this thing in the first place.
To quote Mike McDaniel, “May the Rocky Roads before you be nothing but ice cream.”
Here’s to hoping that is the case…
