Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
2.00	0.00	2.00

Up at 510am (darn that internal clock). Didn't fight it long. Got up. To rec center. Still icy roads.

1 mile track (6.5 laps). 7:59. Easy warm up testing ankle. Better than yesterday but certainly not totally healed yet. But YESTERDAY I was walking normal and pain free in the afternoon!!!! Amazing!! Who knew a whack of a soccer ball could dislocate your ankle bone?? (talus). And the dislocation (which hurt right after impact) over five weeks ago lead to overuse of tendons and muscles to try and correct myself. Geez. I already visibly notice decrease in swelling of my heel bone (after laser and ultrasound and relocation yesterday). NO push tenderness. Time will tell. The pain usually gets worse as the day goes on but I am hopeful after yesterday :D.

20 minutes on the HARD elliptical machine but I didn't overdo it but still got up a good sweat. 268 calories.

60 minutes SPIN Class. She really worked it. Different instructor so different muscles used today. We did one legged spinnning for four minutes each leg. Love that work out. It seems to balance out the muscles when you focus on one leg doing the work. Sat in front of fan today. Needed a break for water but I am hardcore so I didn't. Forgot water bottle. Realized after two spin classes without the first week that water bottles are a must!! Way parched but didn't give up and stayed strong.

10 minutes Cybex trainer. The usual-- increase incline every two minutes to max byt the 8-10 minute. Calories?? forgot to look or can't remember but over 130.

Brief stretching moment. THEN 1 mile on the track again in 6:59. Legs lead-like so I thought this mile would be slow but after looking at my first lap pace I knew I was doing pretty good on fatigued legs so I kept it up. No weights today (that was yesterday and I did 55 pushups 15/15/15/10-- with a ball at my shins/ankles) Just letting myself take a vacation day. No overdoing it which I have a tendency to do. Ya think??!!

haha overdoing it is an understatement! Awesome marathon workout today my friend and incredibly impressive you ran a sub-7 min mile after all that. I think it's pretty much like running a 6:59 mile at mile 26 of a marathon.

You are going to blow everyone out of the water when you come back to running after all of your insane marathon cross training days. :)

I should probably think about a triathlon. I am getting into this spin thing. NOT easy in any way/shape or form. Wish I was a cheater than I could just stroll there in class.

From JulieC on Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 09:59:46 from 71.35.249.180

btw that 6:59 mile felt easier then any moment in spin. Weird.
