2 weeks off - time to work again





It has been a fun two weeks since the marathon and I am fully recovered - I have laced up my running shoes and have done some small easy runs with my training groups or my track team but I have not put in a serious run, a core workout, or weight training since the marathon.

Here is what I have done - drank some Guinness, had some birthday cake, lots of girl scout cookies, couple really good pizzas, wings and burgers at Johnny's, more beer - oh yeah - I have been on the spin bike (and my own bike for the first time since November) 3-4 times for a couple hours each time.

This week will be an easy week since Team Hendryx/Fleet Feet will be defending it Elite Team Championships in the Crazy Legs Relay this weekend. We will be running around 65 miles on the roads on Orlando with a team of 4 people. We will do our best to defend the title - I am sure there will be some teams gunning for us this year.

Our team has changed a little this year from last - Sean, Chris and I will be back but we will be replacing Rene' (just coming back form her injury) and Steve (racing Gate River the following weekend) with Tony. I do not know Tony but he comes highly recommended and will be a great addition to the squad.

I will try to get in a few runs this week to make sure my legs remember how to turn over and we will be ready to go this weekend. Check in next week for a race report and to see our Championship trophy - oops - hope I did not jinx us.
