First Training Run

I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and back at the house by 10:30. It was a beautiful day so we went outside for a “run”. I went about 250 meters.

We went for about 3 walks outside yesterday since it was so beautiful. My pain gradually increased through the day and by 5:30 when I took my pain medicine I was in a lot of pain, by 7:00 we loaded up in the car and went to the ER. We called the nurses station on the way and we can to find out we weren’t taking enough medicine. While in the hospital we were taking the pain meds every 4-hours and for whatever reason at discharge the instructions were every 8-hours. We were on behindnin oain medicine. The ER doc was awesome and he gave me Dilaudid which killed the pain and then had us increase the pain meds to 100 mg every 6-hours verses 50 mg every 8-hours.

​It definitely worked as I had my best nights sleep yet. Hopefully this works well.

A big shout out to David Boyer. Since starting my work with David, I have improved in all areas. I thought running two races in two days this weekend would be a challenge. David gave me a plan (which I tried to follow) and I actually felt stronger on day two on a longer more difficult course. But for some goggle/contact lens issues during the swim, I might have gotten on the podium. Still have a lot of work to do before IM Florida but this weekend has given me a boost in confidence. Thanks Coach!

...my coach David Boyer who is not only a Great coach, but a Godly person who texts me scriptures of encouragement at 4:30 in the morning before the race because he knows I've been up stressing about the swim! Thanks to you all I forever grateful!!!

Love Tri_More_Fitness coaching!!! just got an unexpected race day report breaking down the good, the not so good and the just plain ugly (ah, it wasn't that bad) LOVE getting great, solid, very detailed and constructive feedback. Totally looking forward to continuing to grow in the sport...so much room for growth and progress. My only problem is I want that progress like right now, immediately.
