I realize alot of times people go through rough patches with training but I have just about had my fill. I took alot of time off at the beginning of the year because of my plantar faciitis, and it didnt really heal up, so then I started back and was happy to be training again and within a couple weeks I get sick. I know some folks are able to train through sickness, but I am not one of them. My body does not react well,,,I have tried before. It usually just makes me sicker because of the immune system breakdown. So I have been sitting around for a week doing nothing as far as training goes.
I was really hoping to have a strong race this year at St. Anthony's but it is a forgone conclusion that hope is gone. I will still compete but it will be more like a jog at the park type pace rather than any sort of competitiveness. Its is very disappointing to me. Once I get through that race perhaps I will focus on another one later in the season to try to have a better showing. I just really sucks not to be able to get into any kind of training groove especially after coming off a first time Ironman high.
Whats worse is that I enjoy training with Amy (the G-friend) and I havent been able to as much as I have wanted because of all the injury and sickness. Ok, enough bellyaching for this post,,,,,,just had to vent a little frustration.

I've missed training with you too! I want you to come riding with me this weekend. We can always hook up an oxygen tank to the back of your bike if you think it would help!!!
Ooohhh.... plantar fascities. I've got that so bad right now... I've actually had it for years. Now, I'm trying the chiropractor. Keep your chin up :)
