I set out to do a hilly ride almost 3 weeks ago. My goal was to get in a hilly ride before I did the 7 Hills course with my group on May 12th. I abandoned my orginal course on May 8th, knowing that if I rode the whole course, I wouldn’t feel recovered enough to ride the 7 Hills course on May 12th.
Today I got up and rode the 23 mile course that I had originally intended. My brother in law is visiting from Portland, and wanted to get in a couple of hilly rides over the weekend. So, the two of us got out there at 7 am this morning, to beat the crowds.
We rode from our house through Brier, down to Kenmore, up Simonds Rd, down to Juanita Beach, up Juanita hill, up Holmes Point Dr, down Juanita, and back up through Brier. The ascent was 1680, and it took us 1:45 to do the ride. My average mph was 13, Dave’s was 13.3. My average heart rate was 133, with 167 max. Our average cadence was the same, 68 average, and 120 high.
I feel like I am starting to make some progress in my cycling. It will be interesting to see how working on cadence helps my speed. I wonder if I’ll see the benefit with triathlon or not.

by Lisa SabinComing Back From Plantar Fasciitis
I am keeping my fingers crossed! I talked to my coach today and she suggested going out for a run to see how my heel is doing. I went for an easy run on the Burke-Gilman Trail. I stayed on the grass or gravel and avoided the pavement.
I made it 3 miles in a little under 25 minutes. I tried to hold back my pace and run easy. I am amazed to say that it felt good. I didn’t have any real pain. I stretched afterwards.
It’s been a little over 4 weeks since my last run. My coach suggested that if I still felt pain, to discontinue the run and go back to my podiatrist for a cortisone shot. So far, so good. I will wait a few days and do another easy run.
There’s hope!!!!!

I have committed to taking the month of May off running in order to rid myself of this evil plantar fasciitis. I’ve been suffering since September. If you’ve been following my blog you know I’ve tried decreasing mileage, massage, ice stretching, orthodics, everything short of drugs!
Well, I have used ibuprofen, which is a drug. But, I haven’t taken the next step of getting a cortizone shot. I’ve had one before and they are really painful. I’m saving cortizone for the last resort.
It’s been 4 weeks this Thursday, since I last ran. Mentally, it’s been tough. If it weren’t cycling season, I would be seriously depressed. Standing for 4-5 hours at a time contributes to tired achy feet almost as much as running. It’s difficult to train my clients if I am sitting on my butt. I move around a lot. It’s just my nature.
I am switching my shoes frequently and this helps. I have cleaned up my diet in hopes of decreasing inflammation and accelerating the healing process. I cut sugar and I am increasing vegetables and fruit to bring my body to a more alkaline state. I’ve lost a few pounds and I am feeling a little better. I’m committed to staying off running for 2 more weeks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be painfree and ready to run again.

Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a
