Not much regular training as of late, but I'm hoping to get back in the groove. The last race I did was the the last leg of the Mercedes Marathon Relay here in Birmingham (about 8.1 miles) in February. The day before, I had rolled my ankle coaching an indoor soccer practice, but it was a beautiful day for a race (and just the right temperature for my leg of the relay). The ankle hurt, but it was not as much of an issue as I thought.
Since then, it has been as much Insanity as my schedule has allowed (usually at night after the youngest kids go to bed). However, I am inspired by Joel's dedication to swimming, and I plan to work in some swimming and cycling starting on Monday.
I think I need the variety right now. The foot and ankle issues are recurring due to multiple prior injuries, and it makes running less fun for me than it used to be.
I will note, however, that we covered large distances on foot hustling around Sea World San Diego, the San Diego Zoo, Old town San Diego, Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Universal Studios Hollywood, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, and San Francisco (Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown). It was a crazy fun family trip to California for spring break, thanks to saved up DVC points and Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points. I am thinking that I may need to do my first ever trip report for this one!
