Interlude

Well...I haven't exercised at all this week. Sunday I woke up with a horrendous migraine that kept me lying down all day. By the afternoon I felt better but also like I was coming down with something. Basically I felt like I couldn't take a complete breath. Monday got worse, Tuesday even worse and today, Wednesday, not so good either.

I am going to be Zen about this. I've been trying to really stay in shape because I haven't been able to run (foot bursitis) and I will be out of action for maybe six weeks after my surgery next week. I also added a lot of (very good) heavy lifting to build core and upper-body strength, as well as leg muscle power. I've probably run myself down a bit enough to pick up the crazy germs going around.

My forced respite will at least make my foot get better hopefully and I can catch up with reading and blogging. I also have to re-adjust my goals for 2012/2013. I may be rushing into my first half-Ironman when I don't know how quickly I can start pushing hard. But swimming and biking are probably a lot less hard on the body then running. I though I could do both the TransRockies run and a full Ironman for my 50th in 2013, but that may be much, but maybe not.

Anyway, I'm going to rest, plan, relax and not worry about everything.
