OH day 17… what are you to me? another day done. WAHOO! another 4 miles off my long list of miles that I have been doing. I am in the 300’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have NO IDEA how that makes me feel. sometimes I am so excited about the miles dwindeling down and than other times it makes me want to puke. LOL. because I realize how many I still have to do. 395 more miles to go. I am able to do the 7 and under miles and still feel okay. I get sore but not too sore… and when I wake up I can do it all over again. I suppose by the end of all this training I will be thinking that about the 18 mile training days. LOL. only 13 more weeks of this torture than I will be ready. or as ready as my body can be. HERE is the twist in what I am doing though. ready for this…..?

I am still swimming. and I am swimming A LOT. 4,750 yards in 2 hours. (I swam a bit before coach got there too. But a 500 is nothing compared to what she gets us to do. : ))with her and it was a BIG HITTIN’ workout. I am realy good int he distance. But when it comes to sprints those girls get me. But when we are doing the timed 150’s I am SMOKIN’ those girls. they are not impressed. Okay realy they are but it is hard to get beat by a mom on the team you know? and not just any mom. the mom they call Auntie/mom. the one that is there when they need the secret things that boys dont… or when the boys need to have someone to vent too. the one that is the joker out of the group BUT she is also the one that is the first to yell at them when they are doing something wrong…..

To have THAT mom in there… “BEATING ME at a 1500 OH BOY!” that is hard on my kids…. LOL OH and ~”BTW I ran before I got in the water. HA!”

So tomorrow is an easy 3.2 miles run. and than a hard swim. I am looking forward to it. : ) and I will be so strong by the time the marathon comes along. : ) But I am still complaining OH YES> lets bring you up to date on my injuries.

My shoulder is still screaming off and on. My IT band in the left leg has decided to act up. My Sartorious in my left leg IS SCREAMING! when I try breastroke it takes me to tears. OH BOY OH BOY!

Other than that I am fit as a fiddle.
Marathon Fly OUT!
