"For every dark night there is a brighter day "
Has it really been almost a month? Time flies! Well since my last 2 posts I am happy to say that I am starting to feel like my old self again. I am so thankful that I did what I had to do to get better even though it was one of the most frightening things I have been through.
So what is new with me is that I am rebuilding myself from my base. I injured my left knee while running back in March, had an MRI and am currently in physical therapy. With the inactivity from surgery and the medications I put on 35 pounds (yes I weigh 205 lbs right now) which wasn't good for my knee or for my over all fitness. My physical therapist says that he is much more optimistic than my Orthopedist and should be back running soon. In the meantime I am biking and about to start open water swimming again. I am going to set a goal for myself to do some late event in the season so I have something to train for. I just don't know what it will be.
A good friend of mine asked me the other day if I was planning on any more Ironmans and I told her that if I can physicaly train for it I don't see myself stopping that distant race anytime soon. I am thinking next up will either be Ironman Canada of Ironman Florida. It is fantastic to be able to say that.Everything is impermanent, everything has its "course" to run, some short, some long, some momentarily, some for our life....no matter how much we fight it, when the end comes-(in anything)- we must let go...
It is so good to be back my friends
