Weight around 167 - and turning the corner

Endeed week three of pt. I swam 5 times last week. I went to the gym many days, did arc trainer, lots of walking. I am riding today for 1/2 hour - ez.

I am looking forward to nice weekend with wifey. No real stuff to do.

Monday's workout

Monday I swam my 2500. I did arc trainer and walked 2 miles, stretched, and did the cool dip. Weigh in 167.5. Tuesday, walked and stretched, PT. This morning my foot feeels almost normal as I got out of bed. Very little discomfort lately. I will do Monday's workout again this morning.

started back swimming

Up and early - to start back swimming. I don't know how I managed all of those years of training. But I will start again. I weighed in yesterday at 169 lbs. Thankfully I have not put on much weight over the last 2 months.

2 weeks of PT

I was stiff when I got out of bed this morning. I have been doing what the doctor's ordered. No biking, and I swam yesterday for the first time.

I am feeling great otherwise. Yesterday I was able to walk on it OK. Today, maybe another swim after or before I work at the rescue shelter.

2 visits to the PT

I am officially on my way to recovery. I am seeking the advice of a professional. We are working toward an educated common goal. I am biking 25 miles this morrning. I forgot my IPOD at work so I will IPODless.

My waist is slooowly increasing.

I am feeling fat, but I am not really that fat.

I want to run.

I will attempt to do a full week working out this upcoming week.

Starting to pick myself up off of the ground

OK - it has been two years since I have picked myself back up off of the ground. Time to try it again. I am going to my second PT appointment. Last time I was training for Hawaii; this time I told him that I just want to be able to jog 15 miles/wk.

I am going to find the time and put forth the effort to beat this overuse injury. I am going to not push it and follow the prescribed program.

Alot has happened to me since the last time I picked myself up 2 years ago. I was finishing up school - dreaming of Porsche's. I was thinking about what I wanted to do with myself.


So the business of the day is get through another day at work and learn somee new tricks on curing my injury. Who knows, maybe 2008 will be a CCC year. Patience though.

I need to ask the PT what exercises/activities that I can start doing.

Injuries, time, life

Triathlon! I like it - I hate it.

Triathlon - It is everything to me - it is a waste of time.

Triathlon - It will build you full of confidence - It will strip your confidence away.

Triathlon - it takes a lot of time - it takes commitment.

I dream it - I desire it. I have the most wonderful memories.

It has exposed me to so much - the pain, the suffering, the rewards, the commitments. I will never be sorry.

Now I am entering what may be the final phase. I am going to see my PT. I hope to get better. If there is no cure to my ailment, then I will become a non-athlete. Oh well?

Some pluses. I have spent some volunteer time at the local animal shelter. It is fulfilling. I am finally doing nice things. I am so happy that I am in a position to do it. Triathlon training does nopt afford me to do many things. It takes way to much time.

I revisiteed last year. I was close to Kona. Kona was the same as trriathlon. It was great and awful at the same time. I have the memories. It still feels like a dream. It was a whirlwind.

My memories. I was in great shape. Being in great shape is like life. It is an instant. It is hard to hold on to. It seems easy at the time, but it is but a fleeting moment. It is temporary. It is to be cherished and savored.
