Breaks are needed every once in a while especially when you're lingering on injury.

I think EVERYONE gets those. And honestly, I feel when my training is going really well something usually comes up a blister, a cold, an old nagging injury---but you know what? It's never prevented me from finishing a race and it's not going to prevent you from it either!<br /><br />You're doing so great with your training, I'm always so amazed at what you fit into one week.Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468073781328699944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-37282982019376361132009-09-07T05:56:53.189-07:002009-09-07T05:56:53.189-07:00oh honey.

By this stage I've seen your pictures from MT and you look like you're enjoying yourself and I'm hoping this means the freakout has been and gone. ice on your foot and beer in your stomach will help with it all. You will be fine. You cannot - absolutely CANNOT - do a 30 week training program without a compromise, a skipped workout, a niggle here or there. It's called life! You are doing a great job sticking with it but look at this training cycle as a step up in your life - not just 30 weeks till Ironman. You are training to the best of your ability - that is all you can do and sometimes that's not perfect. Enjoy MT and relax. Try it! Otherwise book a ticket to Europe and come and see me!Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-43146805843467062522009-09-05T22:17:37.297-07:002009-09-05T22:17:37.297-07:00Poor Zach ;)

You gotta give yourself a break, which it sounds like your doing. In the big picutre, taking a few unscheduled days off is waaaay better than the alternative wich I'm not even going to say because we both know it's not going to come to that!!<br /><br />Take a deep breath and trust your judgement that will get to to the start line and ulitmatly the finish line safely!!

I started seeing someone to get ART (Active Release) this month because I was so fearful that the little twinges in my calf/shin would lead to injury and derail the journey to AZ.

Man, this is great! <br /><br />You'll be okay, you know that. It is just a sudden shift that you didn't expect and people like us don't like that. Not one little bit. Remember that in the end it all works out and you're happy and healthy and probably a lot cooler and smarter than everyone else and that counts for something.Emily (for some reason I can't log in?)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18623487.post-1978794098990321482009-09-03T17:11:37.014-07:002009-09-03T17:11:37.014-07:00I completely understand the pain/frustration - and...I completely understand the pain/frustration - and like you said, it will be FINE. You will rest. You will have at least one beer.
