We were a small group on Sunday, only the die-hards show up when it rains. There were ten of us. It was the first time I ran since Reach the Beach on May 21st. I've been out of the boot for a week and I might have overdone it. Felt pretty winded and slow, but only a little over a minute slower than last months PR. Probably not a good idea to race before trying the foot out. I would have thought this over if I had more time. Last week was the week of what felt like five Fridays in a row. My senior graduated on Wednesday and graduation week can be pretty intense. Prepping for roasting the seniors on Monday Night, Senior Night on Tuesday, Graduation on Wednesday and then Gateways (our schools public exhibitions) all day Thursday and Friday. Add in a day of over 95 degrees (no AC) and a visit to Boston to meet with an education foundation and it was a big week. It was no surprise that running literally ran up on me this morning. My foot is a bit tender and should be icing it as I type this. While I don't think I need to be wearing that awful boot anymore, I may want to train instead of race. I believe mostly biking and swimming are on the calendar for June and July. I'll have to give the Olympic Tri a bit more thought once I'm done with this week. Traveling to Vermont for three days with the juniors and finishing up narratives. Got to love this time of year. A friend of mine at church on Sunday warned me not to operate small machinery. A lovely suggestion.
Sorry no pics of No Bananas, our group photographer is even busier than I am.
