Training

Today was a big day for me because I am training for the Pocatello Half right now. I think that a half is about 13 miles. Today I met with my coach and my team with the plan to go seven miles. My furthest distance previous to this was 10 K which I think is about 6 miles. Anyway, it went very well. I have been riding my bike to work and to church and other places this week. My coach said bike riding uses different muscles than running does, but those muscles are supportive to running. In other words, biking as a cross training activity will strengthen me for running. Hooray! God is good. I wore a gray tank top when running; I think it was a fashion f.p. (mistake) because you can see every sweat mark. Of course, I wore every sweat mark happily all the way home on my bike.

Awesome! Wish I could train with you!

I am forming a bunion on my foot, which hurts badly.

The doc told me to do squats far strength training so I will not hurt my knees.

Sounds like you are doing awesome.

Since I am 18 years old than you, I doubt very much that I could keep up with you! But I am honored that you would want to.
