These weeks of lazy Pepper have got to stop kids! I can’t lie, cycling just doesn’t do it for me like running and it is a TON harder to get motivated to train on my bike. Good news is I said screw this no running stuff this week. Funds aren’t around to get a second opinion on the foot and it has been slowly starting to feel better. I had a fun weekend last week with my boyfriend and we spent the night out dancing after our friends wedding, me in fancy shoes and no boot that night while sleeping and I could walk in the morning. Yay! So after a week of slackerdom the boyfriend and I decided a 20 minute test jog couldn’t hurt. And knock on wood it doesn’t seem to have. So I am tentatively going to start some light jogs every other day and see how things progress. In the meantime I managed my first CX podium spot. 2nd place! Out of 6 ;) In the beginner race. But a major triumph. Despite next to no training the past few weeks I improved my skills a bit, the course played to my strengths (meaning not too much technical stuff, no mud, and lots of rideable course), and I raced my ass off. After the last race when I was a big pansy I really went for it today, even though the race went a lap longer than I thought it would and I thought my heart might come out of my chest.

Sounds encouraging on the running front! Miss you guys!
