22 days to go

Only 22 days to go now until I formally start my Ironman training. 21st December is the big day for starting my training but I'm thinking that I really need to get some form of pre-base training completed. I just need to get into the habit of training again so that it isn't so much of a shock.

Today was my first run outside since my half -ironman in August and I certainly felt it. It was a 5 mile run and was my slowest on that route since May of 2014 (almost 19 months ago).

This training should be fun.

So, not the best week for training or exercise but there have been some positives… There must be some… I’m sure I’ll think of one in a minute or two.

While Siân went into hospital for her nose operation, something to do with the sinuses, I made use of the time to take a proper look at my training schedule. There are now 24 days to go until my training starts properly and these past couple of weeks I’ve been getting free sports massages on my achilles. I’m sure that it will certainly help but I feel I must return to running soon, the more I think about it the more I know I cannot get injured during any of my training. Some time ago another sports therapist gave me a whole load of exercises to do on my achilles, I haven’t done any yet but I know I must start.
