Happy Feet!

So the reviews were true, after two nights in the sock and even one very long day on my feet on concrete floors, my heel is much improved!  I jumped on the bike and rode for a half hour and then did a mile long T-run.  I took it at an easy pace and paid close attention to my stride, and I was COMPLETELY pain free! :)  I am going to keep wearing it, I think a week on the right (my really bad side) and then a week on the left (painful only every once in a while).  I think maybe I will keep alternating until I am pain free for 6 weeks.  

In other news, we are moving in the right direction for tri season 2012.  I registered for three races, one in June, July and August.  Unfortunately I missed the cut for Block this year, perhaps next year.  The races are all local and an easy commute, shouldn't have to worry about hotels, etc.  The only one I haven't registered for is Belle Isle.  This is a race in my home state in a beautiful state park just outside of Detroit.  I am looking to go an Olympic distance in that race, but I want to get at least one if not 2 sprints under my belt before I decide for certain to go for that distance.  I am pretty sure I can do it, but I am going to have to lock into training a little bit more than what I have been.  

This week I had great ideas for what I thought I was going to do, unfortunately my morning motivation was absent.  I need to come up with a new game plan, likely involving an alarm clock, instead of going for my more recent method... waking up whenever I get tired of being in bed, or at least 35 minutes prior to running out the door for work. :)

All in all, I am happier than I have been in a long time, I love the idea of a challenge, and I am so ready for June 10! :)
