Today's supposed to be a running day and I went back and forth about it.  My ankle feels pretty good, the icing/resting/ibuprofen/inserts (waiting on modified superfeet inserts that should help even more) seem to be working, but if I get to do the obstacle course race on Saturday (Hell Run) I want to be able to do it!  Quality over Quantity.  Or... nothing over quantity?  

AM - 35 minutes on the bike trainer and 15 minutes of weights.

Take care of that ankle, run through hell and then come help us kick off our first run on Monday in Lakewood.

Current Flavors 9/29: Cake Batter, Peanut Butter, Lemon, Euro Tart, Vanilla and Chocolate.

I don't know about this Monday but I will be there sometime for sure! I need to map it, the one Steilacoom race I came to felt FAR.

PS - You had me at peanut butter.

Yes it is far, but once you get here it is so awesome! It would be great to have you here for our first run... they may not have peanut butter next time... all the flavors rotate weekly except chocolate and vanilla :)

Good luck tomorrow. I just had some reeses peanut butter fro-yo in a homemade waffle cone at BB... just sayin' :)
