I actually got on the spinner bike for 30 minutes on Sunday. I did a great little recovery ride, got my heart rate up just enough, legs felt fine, etc. I also watched the coverage of the Hawaii Ironman on TV yesterday, and was moved to tears. So many great stories of people just like us, making a difference in someone's life.
It was also interesting to see what equipment they used, how they stayed hydrated, etc. I thought I saw a couple of the runners wearing what looked like they may be (have I disclaimed that enough?) some sort of liner over their socks, but in their shoes. As tender as my feet get on the long runs (still searching for the Miracle Sock), I'm going to do some research and see if there is an answer out there for when your socks and shoes get that wet, whether from sweat, water on the head, etc.
If anyone has any knowledge to share in this regard, I'd love to hear it. I'll let you know what I find out.
My plan for today is to get on the treadmill and run without my ankle brace, to see how it feels. I'm hoping to get rid of it and get back to normal. My toe didn't bother me at all on the 18 miler, that paperclip surgery is the best thing ever. If you can stand hearing about it and are interested, I'll be glad to tell you, but even thinking about it before I went through it made me queasy. I'll try to respect your stomachs. :-) I'm just glad that the only issues I had on Saturday were tender foot bottoms and another raw place in my arm pit where I forgot to lube up. And being tired. There is that . . .
