that's a wee bit dramatic.
but ! today is the first day of my training for Rhode Island 70.3. sqeee!
my PF is feeling better. I did a lot of PT specific stretches today and have been rolling a frozen water bottle under my feet at work. I was able to get in an easy three with minimal pain. I think that with stretching, the frozen water bottle, and the foot wheel I'll heal. if I can spent 10+ hours a week training, I can devote a few minutes each day to stretching.that, or it will get worse and I will suck it up and go to the doctor.
but I'm optimistic.
[some might say wildly so]
anyhow, the first day of training was a success:
RUN: 3.30 miles in 30m 13s // 09m 10s/Mi
SWIM: 1600.00 meters in 34m 16s // 02m 08s /100 meters

it's been a while since I did drills and man was the single arm drill tough. I looked like a dying fish. so graceful I am.
it is! I just finished the post actually- if you want to go back to it. :)
ReplyDeletethat thing pictured would tickle my foot to no end... LOL.
ReplyDeleteHere's to optimism! Congrats on the first day of your training. It's official...
ReplyDeleteOne day down! I'm not a big fan of swim drills (or swimming in general) so I always have respect for those who muscle through them. Good job out there.
ReplyDeleteEverybody hates drills, but they will make you faster.
ReplyDeleteNext time try some fist drills.
Congrats on your first day for your HIM training, and I am happy to see that your foot is healing.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to training. Way to really hit the drills.
ReplyDeleteHealing takes time. Remember to finish a race you need to get to the starting line. Take it easy and listen to your body.
ReplyDeleteThat roll thing is pure TORTURE, I almost cried the first time I used it LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, be optimistic and do whatever you can to make it go away!
Sorry to hear about your injury. That sucks!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you are back in the pool. Drills stink, but they HELP so much. To answer your question, that pool that I tried out is a saline pool. It was so clean!....and tasteless ;)....come on, everybody swallows a bit of water every now and then.
Glad to hear the PF is going away and awesome swimming drill workout there Trish!
