x2 on the decision.  I should have pulled back in May, instead of made it worse and lost essentially 3 months or more of running fitness.  Just getting back to where I was in April.  Sorry that you are injured but you're making the right call to heal best.

Little runch today, 40 minutes. Love how it opens my mind.

So my Tri club is doing this swim challenge on Sunday - 100x100. You can do it by yourself or as part of a team. Despite not swimming since Nov 11, I decided to join, so it should be fun.

Obviously I will be part of a team. Just for the camaraderie and stuff...and me not wanting to drown. But I will only mention the camaraderie.

40 minutes on the deadmill, watching the Pistons game, watching bad basketball made me feel fast and powerful, or at least like I was the only one trying.

I'm having trouble getting my butt out the door too, but it has to do more with the lack of time during this part of the year. And my wife's b'day is coming too. This morning we had crazy winds and some rain, so it was a rest day again.

I'm back finally.  I swam once the week after Arizona, then a few days later tried running on a treadmill for 3 miles and it was a disaster.  To top it off, the TSA folks lost the seat post collar for my tri-bike so I've had that excuse (until yesterday) that I couldn't ride.  And riding easy on the trainer is all I've really wanted to do for the past few weeks, so in the end I've basically done nothing for the past 3 weeks.  It's depressing, and as a result I just haven't really been active here.  The only good thing about the past few weeks is that I've gotten back on the ice with my men's league team and have been playing hockey again.

Today, however, I finally broke my losing streak and got out for a run with our local running group.  We did a 12k at 12:12 this afternoon.  The local paper even showed up to interview us and take pictures!  Roads were snowpacked and slush, cars were unforgiving to us, but I don't care, it was nice to run again.  I hope I can keep this up now.

Planned Rest Day.

What do you mean? Not running on 12-12-12 @12:12PM? What's wrong witcha?

Wish I had thought of that - nonetheless staying true to my plan.

Beware that some people after doing an Ironman (with the feeling of achievement) lay back for a while, that can easily turn into a long time, that eventually turns to total inactivity. I know at least a couple of those, including a former pro triathlete in my team that couldn't do twenty miles on the bike with me today. The worst part is that they get back after months expecting to see numbers that they had at their peak, then feel down when they see reality, get frustrated and abandon the sport.

Slowly but surely, get back in the train, don't feel discouraged if you see your last numbers out of reach. Fitness will come back.

Managed to get out side yesterday for a 17km run. Nice to be able to do it in cooler weather again. More storm today not so sure about the brick planned. Start 5 weeks holiday tomorrow so looking forward to be able to train harder and get to the beach for a OWS. 3 week to go for my HIM

MARK - Looks like our weather has moved to the east and you are getting it now.
