Quickie

Hey all - Running's been going great and slowly building back fitness.  I owe you a full update, and it's coming soon.  For now, a quickie: saw a physiotherapist who said there's no reason I shouldn't run (though a few months until full recovery.).  That's what I wanted to hear!

In case you need more, the 2012 Ironman World Champs from YouTube should tide you over.

Or, try this article on the Ultra-Man Worlds.  It's a dream race!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

from The Daily Pennsylvanian blog

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'd like to say thank you to the most wonderful girlfriend, family and friends!

Decision Time

So, I ran 10min easy yesterday.  Afterward, leg felt fine.  Good news!

Bad news, this morning, a 'funny feeling' in a different part of the same hamstring.  AHH!

With 21 weeks to MDS, it's decision time: (1) start running and treat the leg while training or (2) risk not being ready for the challenge.

Bet you can guess which ONE I'm going for!  I'll carry on.  Ice, stretch and run 15min easy on Saturday.  We'll see  from there.

Talk to you Sat or Sun.

Radio Silence

Apologies for lack of posting, it's been hectic.

Quick update, I'm finalizing a tentative training plan, leg seems better, back is acting up and first run is tomorrow!

No more 'weird feeling' in my leg but haven't run on it yet, 10min easy tomorrow.

Back is really tight/ sore.  Not too worried because I've had this before, just more stretch and more foam roller.

Training plan to come.
