The goal this summer was to get my hip finally in order. In the process, I dropped one weekly run & added bike miles. It has been a great balance between being mostly pain free & maintaining speed & fitness. Plus the added bonus of doing what I enjoy most - riding the beautiful back roads of central Kentucky.

The majority of the goals I will miss this year and that is OK. My overarching goal is to have fun & stay healthy which I have achieved this year and that is a major win in my book!
What's next? Still on the fence on the Frog's Gone Wild triathlon next weekend. I will wait until mid week to decide depending on the weather. I did register Steve & I for the Thoroughbred Classic 5K on Thanksgiving as well as the Jingle Bell Jog 5K in December. I also plan to run the Southern Lights 5K with my running girls.
