After 2 crazy weeks, one of which was a great training week, and the other not so good, I'm back in the saddle.
After my last post I had a really productive week and everything was going well until my long brick on the Saturday. I felt a little pull in my right calf and after a 3 hour bike I had a 50 min run and it was a little sore but no big deal. Sunday it became a big deal. I woke up and could hardly walk, going down stairs really hurt. I had a 2 hour run planned for the morning and decided to hold off until the afternoon as I thought this would pass.....it didn't. Other than a couple of swims during the week, I did no training. I gingerly walked around and started popping Advil to help with the inflammation. Some good massages also seemed to help. I decided to just take the weekend off and as Monday is my regular day off this woud give me until Tuesday before I would try it out. Well I just completed a 2 hour bike and a 30 min run and so far so good. I was actually really nervous about starting back up, I'm only 3 months away from the Florida 1/2 Ironman and I don't want this to be a problem leading up to it.
Other than that, my basement renovation is coming along nicely and I should be able to get back down there soon. No longer will I have to look at insulation and vapour barrier, I will have a nice carpeted floor and electrical outlets instead of grey concrete and a 50' extension cord with to many things plugged into it.
One last note, Canadians are notorious for talking about the weather and I'm no different. This has been one crazy year, we had a huge snow/freezing rain/snow storm last Friday, the last 2 days have been above 32F, and tomorrow we are expecting another snow storm. Our meteorologists must be having the time of their lives.
Thats all for now,
Scott
