So, I bloggage has slowed down a bit these last few week, but I'm back.. Back to normal, as if I was ever normal... The objective right now is to run through the facts only to be backed up with pictures tomorrow. See, my current location is at the Detroit airport and my cable for the camera is in Lake Jackson, Tx... ok lets back track....
a week from today, last Monday I went to the Ortho Dr only to find that my wounding knee troubles are arthritis and his diagnosis is to "stop running" WTF!!! I'm in the best shape of my life, heather and happier than ever and he tells me to break up the Beatles?? nope. so he gives me an anti-inflammatory and tells me of some new methods that have helped others but that aren't approved by the FDA.. HUH.. Confusion set in.. its all good.. I refuse to "mail it in" I'll be doing the 1/2 Iron distance in Galveston the end of the month, NO EXCUSES... 5:30!!!!
Tuesday, business as usual, train hard.. Morning bike, Mid-day run, evening swim....
Wed AM... Flew to Detroit (snow everywhere and cold), drove to Lemington, Ontario for my beloved cousins wedding. She is a cousin technically, but I love her like a sister, were separated by a good distance, but I wouldn't have missed the wedding for anything. Because its the time of year for standardized testing, my wife (and kid) stayed home. She is marring the guy that my wife blames personally for my triathlon addiction (he did Ironman UK last year). This year he will be doing Ironman Louisville, and by the way he trains he isnt "mailing in" anything. We got in a good treadmill run Wed PM and I got to meet his fellow Canadian IM buddies...
Thursday.. Visited relatives.. got in two workouts with my soon to be cousin, a Bike session in the AM and a Hill Run in the PM.. it hurt so good...
Friday.. AM Run, and we were forced to skip the afternoon swim to help with last minute wedding plans... More visiting with relatives in the PM... It started snowing after dark, I like the snow probably because I dont see it much.
Saturday.. AM snow everywhere.. Got to shovel snow for the first time.. I did it as fast as possible, took about an hour and since the wedding was that evening there was no time for training, so my shoveling experience had to do for a workout. Wedding was in the evening, my job was to escort the bride and since it was still snowing she was late to her own wedding.. Sorry Jules... :(
Sunday.. Woke up in Windsor Ontario, at another cousins house, had lunch as was headed back to detroit for my 5pm flight. Yeah Right... it took me over 3 hrs to get back to the airport. Normally, only 35 min.. I missed my flight. I miss my family. Got a hotel closeby... no training today:(
Monday.. juggling my destroyed secedule. going to miss work today as my flight doesnt leave until noon... ahh.. I miss my family.. everytime I speak to my wife I can hear the little guy talking in the background. These days being gone for a few days means I miss something new...
Ok so less than 3 weeks until my 1/2 IM... I CAN NOT miss anymore training.. My swim is better than ever, my bike is stronger that ever, my run is hurting because of the knee stuff. I have 2 weeks to fix that, hopefully without injury.. No excuses, no "mailed in" performances allowed....
Pace less Hammer more!!!
