I finished my 500 Miles For Eli today!! Woo Hoo! I worked my arse off this morning and did 23 miles on the bike and 10 miles on the rower. I came in 3rd place which is what I was working toward. There was no way I was catching the people in 1st and 2nd, so I am THRILLED that I came in 3rd!! Awesome Sauce!
I was a little worried about how the knee would hold up, but after riding 23 miles, my rear end couldn't take any more of the bike. I was so close, there was NO way I was going to stop. So, I got on the rower thinking if I couldn't do it, I could always finish the last 10 miles tomorrow. But, YAY! The knee felt really pretty great so I pushed through and finished out. I was so excited that I could do it without a lot of pain. Now, it is a little sore and tired now, but after all of that plus standing 90% of a 2 hour long mass tonight will probably do that to some roughed up knees.
I did have a pretty cool observation today. I put on the pair of black knee-high stiletto boots that I bought right before Christmas. I had to buy the wide-calf version because I couldn't get the regular size to zip over my calves. Well, when I first purchased them, they fit PERFECTLY. Today, I could stick my entire hand down the side of them. I didn't realize that I was losing that much in my legs, but can we say awesome?!?! I might have to buy some new boots before the fall, but it will SO be worth it.
Hope you have a blessed night!
