Well, it’s been nearly two weeks since my sports medicine physician put me on “light duty” workouts aka cross training only. My knee is still bothering me and I feel like I’m losing all of this progress. I’ve been focusing on building my core strength and elliptical/bike trainer. Taking it easy but trying to maintain fitness and muscle tone.
This is killing me, mix in the 26 degree weather and it makes anything normal seem out of touch. I can’t even go on a bike ride outside and enjoy it. Yes, yes call me a fair weather runner/biker, I need a little more fitness level to “love” doing it in these temps, not that I haven’t before.
Anyways, looking at a 5k in mid December through Downtown Louisville and then the a Shelbyville Tri Series in Jan/Feb. The Louisville Triple Crown of Running starts Feb 22 with a 5k, 10k, then 10 miler followed by a KY Derby Festival Marathon/”mini”marathon. I’m shooting for the Half this year.
I’d really like to do the Ironman 70.3 in Muncie, IN in July to get focused on the longer endurance tris. In 2015, my goal is to do the full Ironman Louisville, all 140.6 miles. I’m also eyeing the Rev3 series as a cheaper alternative, but it just doesn’t have the name of Ironman…yet.
Anyways, any advice, comments, or suggestions are welcome.
Josh
