I flared my ankle yesterday

I am taking my first day off today in a week or two. I am still going to ride my 10 miles to work. This is the first time I have felt my ankle since my last race.

I ran with my old shoes since it was a trail run. I didn't want to mess up my new shoes.

Spilway Classic

I rode my bike 5 miles to the race, did the 3 mile trail run and rode back home 3 miles. Not before eating: red beans & rice, two hotdogs, and a pulled pork sandwich.

Ran 30 minutes

Purged

Purged!!!!! Yes it was childish; but at the same time, it was liberating. Wifie crossed the line. She rummaged through my stuff. She was going to assemble my hard earned awards. She was treading on sacred stuff. She still does not get it!

Well me in a tantrum, collected all of my prize stuff and carried it into the trash. My IM Hawaii medal went into the trash, nary a goodbye gaze. Could I describe it in detail? I do not even know what it or any of the others looked like.

I was hanging on to the past. I have the memories. I have always knew deep down that the training was really the good stuff. The training is what makes you who you are.

Anyway goodbye and good riddance. She did me a favor!
