It has been a little over two months since the CA IronMan. I have put on about 2 pounds, and have tried to keep moving. It has not happened like I would have hoped.
With the loss of Emily's dad and baseball and softball seasons ending, I just could not squeeze many work outs in. I did about 10 hours in April and 10 in May, but the time between the runs, rides and swim (just one) was not a completely comfortable experience!
Last weekend, I moved a lot of stuff, cleaned out the garage, planted a garden, an planted some flowers with the kids. I woke up Tuesday and could not move my knee. 2 Days of serious pain and swelling, went to the ER and found out nothing was seriously wrong. R.I.C.E. and all will be well in about 7 to 10 days. (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) Went to the Ventura Healing rooms Thursday night hobbled in and after some serious prayer walked out with no pain! The swelling went down to nothing by morning and I have not had a bit of pain since. God is awesome! Let alone the other healing that took place that night for me. I am going to thank God by doing another Tri.
So Annie's pitching coach signed up for the Carpinteria Tri in September and I was talking with her the other day and was getting all excited. Emily said I should do it to. so after some prayer and thought, I signed up for the Olympic.
I hit the pool this morning and struggled though 650. How is it that fitness goes away so fast? And it takes so long to get it back? Although I am hopeful that I will get the grove back much faster then when I started to train for the CA IronMan.
