I feel better today, but I did not feel well enough to go running yesterday. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go to the doctor for some tests to figure out what is wrong with me.
ETA- also weeded for 1 hour

Saturday
I went to the pool and Bruce taught me his new dolphin dive thing. I practiced it for nearly two hours. I think it's going to work out great!!

Friday
I did a brick with Bruce and John D. We rode out normal for 3 miles and biked back as hard as we could go for the last three, then we transitioned and ran 3 miles. It's a different kind of workout, but still good.

Thursday
My stellar week continues as we approach the WRT. (Timpani, when are you going to take up the challenge? 2012 WRT???)
I ran with the group at 5:00 this morning. It was already 80 degrees, and I survived. 5.5 miles.
I'm even trying to eat healthy stuff; well I'm drinking V8 anyway.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope this heat wave is over by race day!!! (And I really hope that we aren't done with this one, but into the next.) I could really go for a cold snap on August 13. Can I put in an order?

Update through Tuesday
Lets see, I posted last just over a week ago. I don't even know if I remember all that I've done since then, but here's what I've got:
Thursday: Ran 5 miles, just a regular flat run. It was hot, but I survived.
Saturday: Biked 20 miles, ran one.
Monday: I ran 5 miles with Bruce and his friend John D. I kicked their booties.
Tuesday Morning: I ran the nasty Alton hill route with the group for the first time in a couple of months. (Ball games till 10:30 at night is not exactly conducive to getting up at 4:30, so it's been a while since I ran with Team Alton.) I felt good and actually ran much better than one would expect, it being warm not having run that course in a while. So that's 6 miles of monster hills.
Tuesday Evening: I biked with Team Godzilla. I did one loop on Whiteside, so that's 19 miles. I felt great, and with about four miles to go, I passed up an entire peloton of men, they tried to catch me, but only one of them managed to catch me and to draft off of my back wheel till we got back to the lot. It's probably just a fluke though. Next week I'll just be normal, perfectly vincible, Renae.

Tuesday Running 1 hour (about 5 miles FLATS)
I decided to run on the Watershed paved trail again. It was so much cooler than running around my neighborhood. Or should I say less hot? I kept a good pace again, so I think I did about 5 miles.
I also walked earlier in the day for 1 1/2 hours while holding Sorsha in the sling with the kids on the Watershed Nature Trail (including the newly re-opened Marsh Walk). So much fun!
I've also been doing 1-2 minutes of BAREFOOT RUNNING
This time I ran for 5 minutes with no shoes. I want to get up to 30 minutes before I lay down $100 or more for any of these barefoot running shoes.
