I really do. Now, I am sick! I have no idea how this happened. I've been sleeping enough and taking vitamins. It is probably work stress getting me down. Now, I am stuck on my couch with a cup of soup I can barely sip hoping this only lasts 24 hours.
Does the fact that I finished an 81 mile bike ride make up for the fact that I skipped one swim session and one 90 minute bike session mid-week? I hope so! Exhaustion set in this week, big time. On Friday night Nick and I went to a nice low key dinner at a friend's [...]
This week was incredible for IM training. I napped and ate all day long today in recovery mode, but I am finally am back on track with the rest of the team. The revised plan I came up with and had the TG coaches approve called for me to cycle 25, run 13 on Saturday.The [...]
This weekend I rode 70 miles in beautiful, flat Mathews, VA with three others training for IMFL. Nick came along as my support crew which was very much appreciated. Trigirl T was fantastic in planning the event and hosting us at her home on the bay. The training was perfect preparation for IMFL with low [...]

Well, I'm slowly easing back into running now and at the same time, handling the "everything else." Back to running...twice this week I ran on an alter G trainer at the [...]
The dent is still there, but it appears to be improving. I'm able to do squats with out pain. I can do straight leg raises with only a few slight muscle twitches.Today, I convinced N to take a ride out to WC from some easy loops outside. He hasn't been on the bike since last [...]
Yesterday was... Awesome!1. 1 hour of my yoga DVD2. Biked 45 minutes on the indoor trainer3. Aqua jogged for the first time since I was injured for 30 minutes in the sunny outdoor poolAqua jogging outside instead of in the lap pool may have looked silly as I "ran" in place treading water with a [...]
That old phrase has been replaced by, "It will be better in 2 weeks." Yes, any time I go to a doctor with a sports injury, they tell me to come back in two weeks. It drives me nuts because when you return after 2 weeks, they give you another 14 day prediction! I was [...]
