I’m really pleased with my first Ironman magnet on my truck. Designed it myself!

I met a happy pharmacist to day, but that is another story.

Workout: focus on soft feet, cadence and core (minimal and gentle, stent defensive). You can’t have limber feet if you’re all tensed up, it’s enough to give you plantar fasciitis!

Bike: 30 min on trainer, cadence 90-105, relaxing everything I could, starting with my jaws.

Run: 2 miles run/walk with all running at high cadence, focused on soft feet to loosen my calves.

Core: (this is really a way of life!) gentle Gyrokinesis hip rotations, and core engagement on the run.Important Note: These posts do not provide medical advice. You should always consult your physician before undertaking or significantly modifying an exercise program.

    Hi, Me again. I need to explore the ‘soft feet’ once I can see the road to run on; running on 10″ of soft snow doesnt count.
    Yesterday I did over 3000meters swimming and a 2h bike training class. My race bike needs some work as it hasn’t been out since the half IM in the fall of 2012!
    My day off today is snow shoveling and synchronized swimming.
    I am impressed by your progress so far!
    Pauline
