Things have changed, yet again in the past few months. I was sidelined with another injury (my achilles this time) and decided to call it quits on my plan to run a marathon this winter and an ironman next summer.
This is actually a good decision, I think, for several reasons:
- My wife is pregnant and due in June.
- It's cold outside
- I need to address the source of these constant injuries if I want to not only finish an Ironman, but finish well
So, I'm going to take the rest of the winter to relax, and just train for fun. I figure if I can run well for 3 or 4 months without an injury I'll be better off than if I ran hard for 2 months and injured myself again.
In the spring, I'll ramp it up and try to squeeze in a few sprint or olympic distance tris before the baby comes in june.
