Dodged a bullet...actually 3!

What a crazy week of close calls...first let's start by saying that the past 10 days of training have gone as planned (though I did have to re-schedule my long run planned for Saturday).
First, it's been about 10 days since the hamstring started bothering me, and by last Tuesday/Wednesday it was REALLY sore...enough for me to sit on a bag of ice, take an ice bath and even, are you ready, I even stretch a little :)  ..but have no fear, I had NO pain on my brick yesterday and today I feel back to normal. 
I think I tweaked it bouldering at Red Rock outside of Vegas a couple of weeks ago :(  Bullet #1...
Next, last Wednesday while trail running with the GW crew I turned my ankle...and when I say I 'turned' it, that's exactly what happened.  It completely buckled under me, and I'm not sure how it didn't break...but I was able to run on with minimal pain and by the end of the day I had no pain and/or swelling.  How did that happen?  Rubber ankles?  Though thinking back, I'm not sure if I've ever twisted/sprained an ankle...even playing b-ball all those years...nothing.   Bullet #2...dodged.
...and finally we have last night.  2:40 ride (averaged 20.1) followed by a 6 mile run (7:36, 7:39, 7:19, 7:00, 6:25 and 6:01)...but at around 35 miles into the ride, a car pulled out in front of me as I'm riding the shoulder of Highway 7...holy crap that was close.  I was a 1/3 of a second from flying over the hood of some fat chicks Volvo...b***h!  "Sorry' she yells...  Heart was racing after that. 
I did, however, have a great ride. The new set-up on the bike fit pretty well...I may have to do some 'minor' tinkering, but Brett at Gear West did a great job in the fit and set-up!

Feeling good...16 mile run tomorrow with negative splits...I'll keep you posted :)

Thanks for checking in, and for the continued support!
