Sunshine for east coast

Man did I have a tough weekend. Started Friday with Flag football. Played 5 on 5 with no subs. I used my old soccer shoes as I need cleats, however, they are a little too small and at least 10 years old. So, after sprinting for what seems like non-stop for an hour chasing all the fast guys around, my feet were a little sore. Woke up Saturday morning and could barely walk on my feet. Somehow I think I bruised the tendons or something. Man, it still hurts to walk today (not using those shoes again). Then, even though it hurt to walk, I had to do at least a 30 mile hill workout on my bike and 4 miles run, yes, a brick workout when my feet hurt. Lovely. So, I finished my 30 mile bike on the hills (and one mountain..) and took the kids for the 4 miles run/walk (because my feet hurt so bad, I had to walk a little). Sunday's run was just as painful, but at least it was on the flat. 10 miles and yes, kids in tow again. At least my dogs/kids feel good today. Tri girl is tired and trying to take care of the bruised feet. Oh, did I mention the sunburn? who knew it was that sunny Saturday? I was on the bike in a sleeveless shirt, fresh skin is pink today on my arms and top of my knees. Hope I burned some good calories anyway. Going to hit the workouts hard this week because the parents are coming to visit Friday to Tuesday and my workouts will be limited (yeah, limited to all the work Dad wants to do like roofing my shed and pulling out about 50 fence post, can't wait). Dad will just remind me that I used to be stronger, of course that is when I was throwing bails of hay around every day! Can't wait to see them anyway, it's supposed to be 70's all weekend, so nice weather anyway. Forrest will get ahead of me next weekend, so I will hit it hard this week to catch up.

tri girl, If you are not "World Class" Forrest thinks you should be. My goodness what decication. If you ever compete in Michigan I want to be there. Now, that doesn't mean Forrest is getting soft. He is just giving credit where credit is due. If tri girl makes a wrong turn here or there in Kansas or Nebraska Forrest will not tell anyone. (I think.) Keep up the good work. Forrest
