Week 4 and Week 5 Roll-Up

11/5/2018

0 Comments

 
It has been a rough 2-weeks where I didn't do many of my workouts for one reason or another.  Today it is time to get back on track and get rolling again.

Week 4 I had some tight hip flexors and when I was trying to stretch them I think I over did it a little as I felt a sharp pain in my surgery knee.  I was extremely worried about it initially.  The rest of the day and into the following day every now and then I would get a sharp stabbing pain.  I did end up testing it out and went for my run workout, although shorter, I was able to run on it again with virtually no pain.  And again occasionally I would get a sharp pain.

Week 5 was a disaster of a week training.  I skipped many workouts or just stopped after getting started.  I struggled to get up and get my workouts started.  Most morning I was up and ready to go but just mentally struggled to get going.  Sometimes the constant nagging pain and swelling just gets on my nerves and I wish I was where I was 10 years ago.  I just want to be able to run 10 or 15 miles.  I have to keep reminding myself I am where I am and I am in better shape physically and in less pain than I was a year 8 months ago.

​Now to get over myself and get back on track.

Testimonies

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.
