Yes, yes, yes, I know. I’ve been slacking off on posting here. I have done a couple of work outs since my last posting, but have been not really motivated lately because of various things going on out side the realm of training.
It really sucks a lot when you want to train, but just can’t muster the mental energy to do so because of too much crap going on elsewhere in your life. I still have too much of this going on, but things are slowly clearing up and only about one more week until a lot of it goes away (I hope!)
But I have done a 30 mile bike ride and 3 mile run. I was suppose to do a 10k run/race this past weekend but because of finding some bad chicken at the Houston Rodeo BBQ Cook Off, I was down and out.
I was also out for a week because of being sickly, and my parents being around, so I really haven’t been able to do much of anything.
BUT! And here is the big news! I hit the pool this morning! YAY! Of course this comes with some slight bad news. My messed up shoulder doesn’t like to swim anymore. So it was a struggle. I’m also very out of swimming shape in general so I have a lot of work to do to get back up to where I should be and ready for this race. What I did today was one length of the pool freestyle (normal swimming for tri) and then one length on my back to even things out. I did that 8 times. And for the 25m pools that means I did … Anyone? Anyone? 200m of both. And then my arm told me I was done.
So I’ve started back at it, wish I started a lot sooner since I have so much work to do, but, I’m sure once I get things rolling and stay consistent I will get back into shape quickly and be close to where I need by mid April.
So, starting today I’m back in the pool and hopefully I can keep it going and get back to my running and biking as well as needed.
Long ways to go, but not too far away either! Yikes!
