I feel especially good about it because I rode 186 miles on Saturday and wasn't sure I'd be 100% recovered for this distance, but I managed to do it.
Wow, Susan! That's awesome. 186 miles on the bike then 14 running??? That's impressive. Don't see any reason why you shouldn't be training for an IM but will agree with you about the marathon. The training for the half is enough for me. I get bored doing the same thing day after day.

Oak, sounds like you are nursing that Achilles tendon along and getting to run. You were worried about that a week ago. I hope it continues to heal and now your leg is hurt too??? Did you crack the same shin that's connected to the bad Achilles tendon or did you mess up your good leg? Sure hope not. From the sound of it, your shin should be a nice purple color by tomorrow.
