Gradual Improvements

  Wow it is hard to believe it has been almost a month since I last posted here.  I went through a slump where I wasn't working out as consist as I was in June.  Things slowed down a bit and I just wasn't working forward in my training.

With that said, I continue to move forward with everyday improvements.  It is exciting to watch and live through it.  God is working a miracle through me to enable to me to train everyday since my total knee replacement.  Who would have through that I would be running 4-months after surgery and now that I am almost at 5 months I am running at a 10:00 pace for 3 x 3 minutes with 1 minute walk recovery.  I know I could go further, run longer, run faster but there is no need to push myself this early in the recovery process.

Today on the bike I completed the Sufferfest Full Frontal test and have had great improvement.  I am no where near where I was in January much less a year ago. But I feel grateful that I am able to ride at all.  I had improvements in all four quadrants of the test with the great improvements at the power end of the spectrum.  Only because during the first test I wasn't really able to push myself during the 5 seconds, 1 minute and 5 minute tests.  I will take another test in 6-8 weeks to see the improvement.

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.
