Since I hadn't done this workout in awhile and my ankle is still swollen (yes, I will try to get to the doctor this week), decided to power my way through some yoga. My favorite part is the power relaxation at the end. Very powerful. Yum.

After a weekend of intense gardening and yard work, I decided a session on the bike trainer was in order. Plus, an added bonus of a new "Grey's Anatomy." Nope, it doesn't take much to keep this sweet girl happy.

Event: West Point A meet
 

After all of the talk about how hot it could be at the Team Trials, I decided to try this run in the heat of the afternoon, in the low 80's. It didn't go well. I was quite melty by the end of the first mile and my ankle start having little twinges of pain. I went very, very slow, but I'm glad I did it. A few more of these sessions, and at least I will be semi-ready for any heat in St. Louis.

Decided to test my ankle this morning with a short run through the neighborhood. Although it didn't hurt at all, I was definitely aware of my ankle throughout the run. I iced it for 15 mins. afterwards, so we'll see how it goes through the day.

I think I'm going to start logging my time spent at Starbucks (a la Shep and his cafe time). I would definitely shoot to the top of the training log.

Since I can't run or swim, I'll be relying on very alternative methods of training...hence the hard core conditioning DVD. Although I have to say I do love this workout. I feel much stronger every time I do it.

I was going to go swimming today, but I found out that our local pool is closed for the next two weeks in order to take the "bubble" off which converts it to an indoor pool during the winter. So, I'll be stuck with cycling for awhile until my ankle gets better. It was still swollen today and a little sore.
