After last weekend, I found myself needing to take a week off. I am ready to get back on the horse, but my aching knee and hip needed this time.
Whew!

What, me overtrain?!?
Okay, so doing the Big Climb (racing up the stairs at the Columbia Center) my time was 18:00. I calculated that at 3:30 for 12 flights at the Courthouse, my time at the Big Climb was better. Of course, it should be, as I wasn't in high heels carrying a briefcase.
Later this afternoon, I completed my first Triathlon. It was quite a feat. After running 7.6 miles yesterday and the Big Climb this morning, I could have slept the rest of the afternoon. Instead, I trudged down to Evans Pool and began my first Tri experience. I was (purposefully) in the last wave. We swam 15 minutes, biked 30 (I did 5.25 miles) and then ran 2.9 miles on the inside track of Green Lake. I started the run and about 1/2 block in I was ready to just quit. But I didn't.
Back in 2000 and before, I used to take the 3 or 4 bus from 3rd Avenue to the jail at 5th Avenue. To go from taking a bus for a two block ride to "running" up 69 flights followed by a tri? Priceless!
OMG, do I feel good tonight. Sore, but good!!!

Motivations.
I find it is more difficult to gear up for my Tuesday and Thursday a.m. runs when my running pal Misty is out of state. However, I was up and running this morning, despite it all. The 57 degree weather didn't hurt! Helps me to get up and go when I know Misty is waiting for me.
Another 3 mile run on Thursday, 7 miles Saturday morning, then the Big Climb Sunday morning and a sprint Tri Sunday afternoon.
Needless to say, I will be taking Monday off.

Which floor?
Well, I have decided that I prefer to be sent out to trial in courtrooms that are on the 8th floor, at a minimum. Mostly for the aerobic aspect. Not much going on if the courtroom assigned is on the second floor.
One of the judges does three sets of stairs at the noon hour. I knew I liked her for a reason!!!
