Road to Recovery
I'm starting to think that this whole "vitamin I" and rest thing is actually working on my muscle strain. Today I don't even feel it at all. Lately it hasn't been painful, but I've often noticed it when walking or turning my leg a certain way. This morning I woke up, after being without ibuprofen for about 9 hours and I didn't even feel it. Of course I still popped my 4 pills just because I don't want to stop taking them prematurely and have the discomfort/pain come back. I'm starting to see a light at the end of this injury though and I'm hoping to put in a few miles by the middle of next week. It's been hard to gear down and step away from the cardio and just let it rest. But now that I can tell it's actually making a difference I'm going to stick with it. I've found a training routine that should get me ready in 6 weeks, which is about all I have left until the half.In other event news, the registration for the Seattle Danskin Triathlon opens Tuesday February 26th. Finally! Then I can stop obsessing and checking the site about a million times a day as I have since the beginning of the month when registration was supposed to open. There is a very limited number of spaces (about 3000 I believe) and it fills up quickly, so I have to be sure to get on it at soon as it opens. Then I'll sign up for the Team Danskin Training, to the tune of $259, however it's apparently a really good program and a friend of mine is actually going to be the workout leader. Also, I'm planning on signing up for swim lessons at the Y starting at the end of March, which seems completely lame, but I haven't actually swam in years so it's pretty necessary.
Things are looking good all over. Not to mention, it's Friday, the sun is shining and other than a fabulous private party with Amanda Palmer, Estradasphere and Jason Webley, we don't have anything going on this weekend other than sleeping in and probably some cleaning.
