I had a great week last week I was able to run 3 days with a total of 18 miles. I am still having to run easy because of the heel issue. I also hopped on the spinning bike 3 days for 60 min each time, I was able to spin out 78 miles total. I am totally loving the spinning bike. I also was able to play 45 holes of golf this weekend. Fun, Fun Weekend!
I have 5 weeks until my first Half Marathon of 2011! Wow it is sneaking up on me fast. I will be running the TX/NM Challenge in Hobbs New Mexico. I know this race will not be a PR, but I am ready to get into race mode. I just love the competition and being around runners who love to run as much as I do.
Now on to
Motivation Monday
I run with my head, my heart and my guts, because physically, I don't think I've got a great deal of talent or ability. I started at the bottom and worked up.

The long run is what puts the tiger in the cat.

When in doubt, when in fear, be aggressive. Commit yourself and never look back.

If you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.

Keep your dream in front of you. Never let it go regardless of how farfetched it might seem.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

You're so awesome!! Great post!!!!
Hello. You won the giveaway for the movie tickets. Please contact me at cheinle at cox dot net and I'll send you the contact information.
Great jog finding another way to 'work it' while the heel recovers.
You ask about any PR, well I did do a little hill session on my 1 mile hill, and for the 2nd climb I PR'ed so maybe I'm starting to get fit...
And with 5 weeks to your race it is time to start training, good luck. We also have a big race in 5 weeks
Spinning, and golf! Awesome! Definitely a great way to keep the spirits up while the heel... heals, ha!
I didn't race this weekend, but probably had a food PR. Embarrassing.
Thats a lot of spinning miles. Hope the heel gets better soon
You had a killer week. Great job. I liked the T.S. Elliott one the best. I ran in NM last December. I predict this will be a great race for you.
