I've decided to start all over. not from scratch, that would be unnecessary, but I'm going to forget the first half of this season, and start again.
Since the Meech lake triathlon July 4th, I've basically been off training. I swam a few times last week, but this week has been pure laziness. I've even caught up on some videogames and staying up much later than I usually do when I roll out of bed at 5:30 to go train.
So now I need a new goal for this summer. Since I have no clue when my running fitness is going to come back, and I still want to do a longer event, my goal for this summer is the Iron 113 swimcycle @ the Canadian on September 5th. Following that I will try for the Fall colours duathlon on October 10th. The final planned event I've got planned will be to run the 10km at the toronto marathon to help pace a friend of mine who has just started running.
This should give me a fairly good idea what how i'll be spending my winter months, and weather or not I'll be able to work back up to running a half or full marathon.
That's a smart approach. Well, at the very least, it's one I'm taking for the rest of summer. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care of that injury, find a new goal, and regain that focus. There's still lots of time left.
