Well, it is an improvement at least. I am now doing a progressive run-walk programme but OHEMGEE am I slow?I know that I can't rush the recovery though, and as a friend put it, I would waste all those hard months of resting, and then be back to square one again.
The injury and lack of racing had lead to a huge decrease in mojo and general willingness to train. Also exacerbated by people (trying to be nice and friendly) saying things like, oh it will be OK, don't worry, you will be back to normal in no time, etc.etc.etc. which seemed to make it worse somehow!? Illogical I know, but they would reel off all these little dits about how it was going to get better, and then jog off into the sunset themselves.
So, what to do?
Well I came up with the ultimate tri to-do list for 2015. But I also used the time to look back on the season past, and it has been pretty incredible. Whatever your situation im sure there have been good and bad bits which have lead you to where you are now. Worrying, or being miserable wont change anything, so reminisce in the good bits, and build on the bad. Acknowledge their presence, and move on! Yes...GET OVER IT!
That's where I am now, slow on 2 feet but getting over it.
Bring on
winter training and feeling smug when you have got out there and trained, while your friends have stayed inside in the warm.
Great hot showers only come after long cold runs!
