It's SO Quiet!
I know... it's been awfully quite around here. To tell the truth, I guess I don't have much to say. I know, that's gotta be a first.
Training has been pretty much non-existent. I ran a couple of times only to cause the recently diminished pain in my ankle and leg to return. I should be biking to compensate for the lack of running, but I haven't. It's amazing how quickly I fell out of the habit of daily workouts.
My last triathlon of the season is this Saturday. I'm actually looking forward to it being over. I'll be able to skip workouts without guilt, and be able to run when I feel like it, without worrying that I'm messing up my taper or injuring myself just before a race.
Urs and I have been walking every morning. (For those of you new to my blog, my partner has Stage 4 cancer and has been quite weak for quite some time.) Now that she is on new medication, her heart and respiratory system seem to be working quite a bit better. She hopes to drop some weight and get a little more fit. Since we've been walking, I've been motivated to run afterwards. Once the tri is over on Saturday, I plan to start doing just that. The walk can be my warm up.
We're going out of town next week to a place called Moses Lake. (Moses Lake & Priest Lake... sounds like we're in the bible belt!) Will post pictures if I shoot anything of interest.
Will post a race report on the Sprint Tri before we leave.

Barb, I am so sorry to hear about your partner. I can only imagine the challenges that you both are facing during these times.
Perhaps a walk over to watch the Seahawks practice could raise the spirits a bit.
Good luck on your upcoming race.
Barb,
I love your perspective on the last race of the season.
Also, I'm glad to hear Urs is feeling a bit better. My prayers continue for you both.
Stay tuned...
It's okay to have some down-time. It allows you to catch up on life and enjoy other things. The walks sound nice. My thoughts are with Urs and you. I'm glad she's feeling better.
