Top of the Key

Yup, I posted too soon about how i was feeling.  As of Thursday, trashed…even before my workout.  Still tried to do it, not good.  Took Friday and today off completely to get rested and recovered.  Not quite sure how it happened, but have a feeling the double race weekend took more out of me than I thought.  Tomorrow I’ll ease back into the athletic world.  At least this has give me some time to catch up on work, clean the bikes, spend time with the dogs and hopefully see my wife.  She just finished a 2 day testing period to become a Certified Orthopedic & Sports Massage Therapist.  What does that mean?  For me, and my fellow triathletes, it means that Jess knows more about our bodies then we could ever imagine.  She was studying for this exam 2 months out, and for the last few weeks, getting up early and going to the basement to study a few hours before she started her day.  And then continuing it when she came home from work, and that’s probably the most difficult time, as we struggle to make it to 8pm sometimes.

I’m so proud of her accomplishment.  She’s extremely motivated to continue building her massage practice, and this is another piece to help her along the way.  I don’t think twice about seeking her advice if I’m feeling the slighest pain, or doubt about a workout if my body is in some sort of distres, knowing that whatever she says, is right.

Now, just need to get myself back out on the roads and in the water, i feel the hunger!
