Ten Toes…

And nine toe nails. Yep, I lost a toe nail last night. I have bruised my toes several times and had loose nails but none have actually fallen off until now. I still have a loose one on the other foot too.
A couple years ago my daughter slammed her finger in the van door and ended up loosing her finger nail a few months later. It just happened to fall off right after my son had gotten a visit from the tooth fairy and she was upset about not having any loose teeth. Well turns out the tooth fairy also leaves a dollar for any lost fingernails. So When I showed my kids my toe, my son told me to put it under my pillow so the tooth fairy would bring me some money. I was hoping for new tri clothes. :)

Well on to my training…
The plan called for a 2 hour ride and a 30 minute run NOT back to back. We had out last basketball game to cheer at this morning so I waited until we got home at 10:00 to get changed and on my trainer. I did my 2 hours while watching the end of one movie then all of another. Either I didn’t get the second movie or it was just plain stupid, but at least my 2 hours went by pretty quickly. I was proud of myself for pushing harder today and I ended up with just over 30 miles. It still isn’t great but sure beats the easy rides I have been doing.
I made the kids lunch, did some laundry, and ate Fig Newtons while waiting for Ronnie to get home. Once he got home I headed out for my 30 minute run. I felt GREAT. It was suppose to be an easy run. Sub 9 felt easy. I ran 3.49 miles in 30 minutes, 8:35 pace.
