You Did Great at Track Last Night! I am so proud...

Thanks Coach! Surprisingly I feel pretty good today. I was expecting my legs to be sore and painful, but they're not. They just feel a little tight. Maybe soaking in the tub last night helped with that. As funny as it sounds, I feel a bit...athletic.

I think I've mentioned before that Melissa and I have been training a little together, and even though the workout last night pushed me out of my comfort zone, I was shocked at how good I felt afterwards. I was getting worried just listening to you go over plan on the white board and thought I would collapse! But I made it through and kept thinking last night I actually might be able to do this (referring to the CIM relay).

Now Melissa was completely PUMPED after the workout. She kept texting me on her cell phone 'til midnight she couldn't stop talking about it. And she started texting again first thing this morning. She wants to try running tonight the 2 minute intervals you told us about. Teenagers! God bless their energy! I feel pretty good, but I don't want to injure myself so I'm going to stick to walking tonight. Also I'm riding 36 miles with my cycling group on Sunday so I better rest the legs.

I really want to do the relay and train properly for it, so the training schedule would be great. I've already RSVP'd for next Wednesdays track workout (with a +1), so I will see you then. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I can't begin to tell you the sense of accomplishment I felt every time I passed that cone!

Have a safe and happy 4th!
