Here we are after a run.
Enjoying a little side trip to Mexico with our friends Douglas & Cheryl from LA.
Oh yeah, the reason we went down to Mexico. Dougie and Cheryl had been telling us about this little town in Mexico with the grilled lobster while they were our neighbors on Vashon Island. We finally had the chance to make the trip with them and it lived up to the hype! Here's some of the selection pre-grilled.
For those of you that don't know, these are our Seattle friends (Danielle & Kele) that transplanted to San Diego (the reason for the trip).
Laughing and throwing back a few cervezas!
As far as training this week. JL took the week off due to her nagging knee injury. She is going to see a sports medicine doctor on Wednesday. Not to worry, our coach Shelby says the injury is common and should be corrected with a patella band. This will keep her patella tendon in place so it won't swell. JL did walk/run the 90 minute workout on Saturday, but is feeling the pain in her hips today. Mike ran 9.7 miles on Saturday's 90 minute run. During the week: Tuesday 30 minutes, Wednesday 40 minutes with some hills (preview to next week's hill and strength training) and Thursday 40 minute easy recovery run.
