Due to popular demand, which in my case means three people. That's probably as high as my rating has ever been, other perhaps than the day in grade 11 when I told the principal to eff off in front of a good portion of Arthur High's enrolment! Ahhh....the memories.
I'm only back briefly today but I intend on posting every day from here on in. That ain't much of a commitment mind you, cause D-day is 2 weeks from today.
As to what it will bring I have very few expectations at this point. I have been sick as a dog and done nothing for 6 days now, and while I'm starting to recover, it's going very slowly. Needless to say my 3 week taper plan has gone completely out the window. All I'm hoping for now is a complete recovery by race day, and the hope that I don't lose too much fitness in the interim. Tomorrow, I'm gonna try a little swim, and then go from there.
The really important thing I think is to get my head on straight in my remaining time. It's hard to look forward to an Ironman with confidence when a walk from the parking into Lowes necessitates a little sit down as soon as I get in the door! That was 2 days ago.

Hooray, you're back!
ReplyDeleteIt's been REALLY hot this week, so maybe the lack of exercise may be a good thing. Stay cool/hydrated!
I hope your swim goes well tomorrow! :)
Love,

I'm so glad to know that you're OK and getting better! I'm not really surprised, considering everything you've been through in the past few weeks, that you got sick. I think it's a fairly natural consequence of that level of stress. Onward and upward! Love you to the moon and back, infinitum, and then some...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! LOve you more!
