In a nutshell

March 30, 2009 By: Runner Leana

No real time to tell you all about the weekend quite yet, but here it is in a nutshell:

  • Dead car battery
  • Saw an Olympian and Ironman 70.3 World Champion
  • Delayed run thanks to ankle pain
  • Elliptical thanks to ankle pain
  • Bike computer issues
  • More than 4:42:55 and 76 mi on the trainer. In one morning.

Happy Monday all! (And yes, I really did post at 5 am…)
