Training for IM is a humbeling experiance
Training for an IM is a humbeling eperiance. Just when things are clicking, things happen that bring you to your knees. My 17 mile run a week ago introduced me to plantar fasciitis.
The pain was bad, I have been icing and stretching it and I stopped running for a week. I decided to give it a two week rest.
Since I suck on the bike, I have put in the extra time biking that I would ordinarily be running. Over the past week: 25 miler Tuesday, 30 miler Thursday, 60 miler Friday and 65 miler Sunday. This equals 180 miles. A lot for me. I also spent some time spinning at the gym.
I am nervous this morning as I am recovering from a bad alergy. I was sick all weekend, but I still managed my bike ride. I experianced this allergy from the pool before. It was the indoor pool, and I switched to the outdoor pool and magically I could swim again. I hope that I am not allergic to the outdoor pool. This would kill my chances for Hawaii.
Today is my swim workout/weight workout day. I am skipping both. I don't dare try the pool till I am better (hopefully today). My weights would not be very beneficial, because I feel weak.
I have 19 weeks left till IM Hawaii. I will not panic about my running injury till 16 weeks away.
My swimming, I will not panic till Wednesday, when I swim again.
Good news! I solved my long biking problems by buying a more comfortable saddle.
IM Training just humbles me.
