Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it's been 3 months since my
last blog post!
Wow! It has really been FOREVER
since I posted. Now that Ironman Wisconsin is only 130 days away I will likely
be posting more often. I have so much swirling through my head and
writing this blog helps me make sense of a lot of it.
The last 3 months have been full of ups
and downs. I ran a 10k with friends in March and I had my best 10k ever!
(Ok, ok so it’s my only too). I joined a local triathlon team and
training was going really well. At least it was and then I had surgery 2
weeks ago and it all came to a screeching halt.
I was having intense pain in my abdomen when I stood up or was
sitting down reaching to get something on. It did not happen all the time
(actually it was really infrequent) but when it did happen it was VERY painful.
I went to my surgeon in January and he thought it was a hernia.
Ordered CAT scan and nothing, nada, zippo. Fast forward 4 months
and pain starts coming more frequently. Go back to dr. he says it is
likely a hernia and we need to do surgery to fix it. Schedule surgery, he
opens me up and find nada, zip, zero. Ugh! He does clean up some
adhesions but we have no idea what was causing the pain. On the bright
side, no similar pain since surgery but I also haven't been doing anything
strenuous. I guess only time will tell.
First race of the season, the St. Louis
Triathlon is in 3 weeks. I'm scared. I have already done all the
distances this year but being lazy the past few weeks definitely concerns me.
I have a 40 mile ride following by a 3 mile run this Saturday and a 9
mile run scheduled for Sunday (Happy Mother's Day to me). If these go
well I should regain some lost confidence.
