It seems that I've wanted to blog a bunch and then when I have time I get distracted. Even thought I don't have any followers on my blog it's still nice to write thoughts down and maybe share a little of what is going on in my head. Not that you might find it interesting.
Workouts have slowed a bit because I have this pesky pain in my crest of my pelvis that I've been dealing with for the past 3 weeks. I've tried rolling yoga and message and it has only gotten just a bit better. Even Arnica or Motrin has not helped. I had a cortisone injection last night and hope that it will ease it up a bit so I can back into my running mode. The bike however is looking good and I seem to be riding more lately and really enjoying it. I seem to be getting stronger and stronger and I really like to see that improvement.
I'm supposed to run the SF marathon July 25th but with this injury I have been set back a bit and I'm trying to get into the half instead. Which is a major disappointment!!!!!
I'm focusing on my swimming as well and I really want to crush my next IM distance race next year. I don't think I will ever be a 10 or 11 hr IM'er but maybe 12??? I seem to think that it is all about the bike and the run. And if I can just get those things dialed in and make my swim strong I may have just that chance.
As for races this year I really look forward to Soma 1/2 in the fall and I hope I get into IMAZ if not back up plan is full Vineman in July. Seeing the improvement in the past 6 months really shows me that I can do this and I can become faster. Sometimes the brain takes over and lets be slack off and I really need to stop. For example..... This morning I was going to ride to work now keep in mind that I had a shot last night in my proximal IT band and it was a bit sore. So I blew the ride off and decided to swim instead. Once again changing my mind. I look at it as..... I'm not really training for anything other than the marathon and well you know how that's coming along. So, Lots of riding and swimming this week and maybe a run on Friday I hope. I feel that I've taken so many steps back in my running that it's a bit frustrating!!!
I hope I haven't bored anyone and thanks for letting me ramble on about my frustration and stuff. I hope to get out of this funk and maybe I just need a good slap to snap me out of it!!
