6 at lunchtime w/ Darin. Sunny, 75F, S17-26MPH (windy)

Right heel is feeling much better. Ran in the Speedstars again. Looks like these are good to go for Boston.

 pm

Decided to go to my first spin class in about a year (there was a "farewell" celebration for the instructor. Did 1 hour spin -- I'm giving myself credit for 4 miles...I hope that's fair. This might have been a violation of the "don't do anyting stupid this close to Boston" rule. I won't be doing spin again any time soon. Good workout, though. Tough ont he quads.

I think WIND was the theme for March! Look how speedy you ran like the wind!!!

Spin class?! Hmm, exploring on Xtraining, eh? GOOD JOB!!! 18.5 days!!! :)

Nah, no violation! I am all for doing whatever the heck we want. BUT I am kind of dumb! I do not eat the proper fuel to have a functioning brain!

My first thought was, "why would you do spin class for your first time in a year so clost to Boston?", but as long as you didn't strain anything, I guess you are all right. Oh the crazy things we do during taper time. I'm sure I will do something dumb in the next couple weeks. I'll just hope it doesnt' bite me in the butt at Boston.
