I was having a great week of training and time with my family this past week. Then on Saturday, I thought that my season might be over. Like over till after Kona.
I am a bit more optimistic now though...
Rewind a bit.
I had an absolutely amazing week of celebration and fun with Beth, Aiden, Mom, Dad, Erin, Kyle, River and Autumn. After the wedding last weekend, Beth Aiden and I got home to Boulder on Sunday and had a nice mellow start to the week. My nephew River's birthday was on Thursday (the 4th of July) and we were lucky to go celebrate at a place that I grew up loving. The Green Scene AKA Gateway Park - Mom had the big tent reserved for awesome party time. Go carts, batting cages (I was sore), mini golf, beer, and other games were great. Then on Friday, I got a ride, run, then swim in and went to water world with everyone. Life is good!
Then I went for my 16 mile "go to" long run on Saturday and boom. 14 miles in, I felt like my shoe was too tight, but no. My foot was more like broken. I went home and hobbled around for the afternoon, then went to dinner at my parents house. I couldn't walk the next morning so I went to urgent care. I didn't know what to think. I was booted and it made everything feel a bit better.
Even though I thought that I may be done for the year, I might be back much sooner than I thought. Like much sooner. It's all down to how serious this thing is.
Run: 35.0 miles
Bike: 180 miles
Swim: 4100 yards
