Its preseason.....

So back to carb cycling and training.

I also went back to the field for the first time Saturday. Its just as I remember....I love the SoccerPlex up here.

Watched a great webinar on female athletes and tweaked my ATFL hiking. That set me back some with working out but planning to be ready in a day or two. I can walk on it but its sore and swollen         -___-

My mom was quite upset that I'd gone hiking without any company. I don't think she understands me fully when I say "I'm doing what I want to do whether or not any one else wants to go." I get that she would prefer I didn't go alone but 1. I love being alone and 2. I asked and no one wanted to go. I refuse to stay at home or do something I don't want to do because of other people. That's never been me and it won't become me.

Picture of Bend, OR taken on an iPhone. I can only imagine this awesomeness in person!

I'm moving out to gorgeous Oregon (if I match there) and I'll be doing plenty of solo hiking. She needs to get use to it. And baring the actual amputation of my foot or it getting stuck under a boulder of some type, I'll be able to hobble my way back to my car.

Where there's a will...

UPDATE: I warmed up my ankle with a 3.5 mile bike ride and then ran on it. Logged a good distance with no issues and did side shuffles with no issues. Other than being puffy and a little point tenderness I'm all good. Had a great overall workout for cardio and lifting. Carb cycling isn't ruining my days. I'm having a beautiful time actually. Onward and Upward!
