"TLFC" exercise and accountability support!

Happy Saturday!

Man, resting from exercise is hard! Ugh. But, I've been good and stayed within my calories all week. No gains.

Cardio: Ran the Toughest 10k Kemah race this morning. Official time was 1:09:14. I was supposed to go easy, since my shin and ankle are not healed, but ended up beating last year's time by 2 minutes. Considering this involves running over a steep bridge 4 times, I am proud of the achievement and hopefully didn't do anything to my leg. Seeing the doc next week, though I think this is all just deep bruising from softball and a slight strain of the ankle from last Saturday's trail run. Back to the RICE method!

I didn't skip the race because it's race #1 of a series and I refuse to miss the series' final medal. Next race isn't for a month, so I hope to be healed by then.

Hope you all have a great weekend and welcome to Wildflower!
