Top of the Key

Starting Friday, I was able to ride a bit on the trainer.  Saturday, I rode the trainer for a longer time, and then ran for 25 min.  Thumb gets a little pressure when i run however, we’ll see how long i can go.  Sunday, I ran with Jess in the morning for 40 min, and then jumped on the trainer for another hour.  All intensity has been easy as I build myself up again over the next few weeks.  This injury has definitely made me slow down…ALOT.  And I’ve begun to use my left hand for different daily tasks, making my way through it.

It’s now Monday morning, I’ve had a good weekend of recovery for the thumb, stitches come out on Thursday, and hopefully can swim.  Going on week 2 of no swimming.  This will be a good test as to how some time off will affect my swim time.  Early prediction: no change at all.

I’ve signed up for Ironman CDA 2010, a year from yesterday.  It all starts again this winter.
