Let's Hear It For The Girl!!!

I am so proud of my best friend, Janene! She finished her first 10K yesterday and was 4th in her age division!!! She rocks! I am so proud of her! She has always been such a great example to me...and she never ceases to amaze me! I love you, J!!!!

Le Tour de la Legacy Parkway, UTAH


Yesterday was the Legacy Parkway Tour. I have never ridden my bike that far or for that long all at the same time. My hindside is sore!! I have a new respect for those who do long distance bike riding. Holy cow! The ride was fun and for a good cause. I am seriously thinking that I want to get a road bike... Here is a fun picture of the "finishers"!

Injured = Pain = No Fun for Me



The week of the Share a Smile Tri, I was ignoring an injury. I kept telling myself that I would be fine. (Knowing in my mind that I would not). There was nothing that was going to keep me from doing the Share a Smile Tri. I kept telling myself, and others, that I will not have an injury until AFTER this race. Well, It's been a week since the race. RICE therapy did NOT work (my usual standby). So I went to the InstaCare this morning. Great way to spend the holiday weekend, don't you think? X-rays showed no bone damage. Thank goodness. But, I do have bursitis and Achilles tendonitis. The doctor said "no more tri's, my friend" and "get thee to physical therapy". So I stay off my foot, and go to physical therapy. Biking is "okay" says Dr. Burton, so I can still participate in the Legacy Tour. Temperatures dropped DRAMATICALLY this week and so I am excited for some crisp, fall air rides. More updates on the injuries later. I am not happy about this...
