Running Again!
Ok, so it was only 5 intervals of a minute but it was still running. And it felt good.
So after 3 weeks completely off and then 6 weeks of just playing it by ear, tomorrow I start the real thing. No more sloughing off a workout because I was out late. No more just going through the motions in the gym or at workouts. No more eating or drinking whatever I feel like. It's time to set the wheels in motion for a great 2010.
The main impetus for getting myself focused? Despite missing provincials and the final TriBC elite criteria I may still be able to race elite next year. I've been told to apply in January with my race results and include evidence of my injury and they'll go from there. So tomorrow I'm going to get a copy of my CT scan report and start building my case.
So for now it's about preparing as if I'm going to be racing elite. Step 1: Start running again (check!). Step 2: Get a new indoor trainer so I can ride even though the days are short now.
