I haven't trained heavily this week - save for physical therapy. I did swim....and I did get some time on the bike trainer. Alas, this *#@*&$# ankle is still not letting me get outside and run and jump and play. So, I've been reading about other peoples training and, well....while I don't like being injured, at least I'm reading more!
Okay, enough of the smarmy feel-good stuff. I'm crawling out of my skin. I'm beyond impatient and NEED to be out running. Swimming is great. The bike trainer is great. But I'm not 100%, and I won't be until my ankle is back to normal. Obvious, I know, but I had to get it out there. I'm going stir crazy and I'm man enough to admit it. So aside from drinking more beer, I'm beginning to become angst-filled. Sort of like week 2 or 3 of a taper.
So, aside from reading a bit more and drinking more beer than usual, I thought I'd cover a couple quick items:
First - I was looking at my site analytics, and was very curious about one of the Google search entries that led someone to my blog:
"Triathlons and the wealthy"
What the heck did I write that caused that search to cause a hit on my site? No idea. Moving on.
Second - I wanted to share a couple of the good posts I've stumbled on in the last week or so.
Self-Talking Our Bodies Into Submission
The Endurance Athlete's Scrapbook
You might have noticed, however, that both posts are from Susan Lacke. Yep, that's right.....I have a blog crush on Susan. I do. Can't deny it. My wife approves (actually, I think my wife has a blog crush on Susan as well. Hmmm, competition).
Susan is cool. She's funny. If she lived closer (and I don't really know where she lives to be honest) I'd be inviting her and her family over for dinner.
Read her stuff.
