Live! Knee update

My Knee Still Hurts.



But! is getting better.

I did some easy running on Thurs. and tried some diving in the pool. My knee was tight and burning a bit as I worked it. I went down to the pool After my run for some diving. I couldn't get the push or spring off the board with much power, but did manage to go though my dive list before my knee gave out. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll be a 100%

Yesterday was a forced rest day, as I had some meetings to go to before work.

Today, I have nothing on tap, just loafing around and making dinner.


And for your amusement, a video Victoria made while at school lunch. Enjoy!.....

Moms cancer is back.

A few weeks ago I mentioned on my moms birthday that she got results back from her biopsy, which was positive for breast cancer. She just told me she goes in for a mastectomy on the 19th. It doesn't look good for her at this point. And apparently the doctor said she can't get kemo? She said the cancer in her breast is like a star burst with fingers spreading out and growing outward down around her rib area. Hopefully they can take all the cancer out with the mastectomy and she will recover, if not? .......lets just pray!

First swim of Feb

With the groundhog out today seeing his shadow on this bright sunny day and running back in his hole, means there is six more weeks until spring. Either way there is six more weeks until spring.

So it's time to ramp up my training after a pithy month of training in Jan.

My knee is starting to feel better, and didn't bother me or hurt while I swam. I swam my first 2000m of the year and I did some water running with no ill effects on my knee, so that's good.

Tomorrow I will try some easy walking slow running on the treadmill, knee willing? But no diving, maybe I'll try diving on Thurs.

January's totals

Swim total for the month.....7250m

Bike total not even worth mentioning.......45min.

Run total for the month.....29miles Total time... 4hrs 25min

Diving total time ...5hrs

Total time training for the month ....approx 12hrs

Not a good month of training. : < (

My Next Mission

I didn't get a chance to go to the competition yesterday. Well I could have gone, but there were more important things to do like go to the wreckers and pick up a new tail light for the neon install it and go shopping with the wife, pick up some beer for todays Superbowl game, etc.... by the time all that was done, it was to late to to go.

My next mission once my knee heals up? is to continue my tri training, ramping up some needed miles in my biking, which I haven't done since Oct, and to put on more run miles.

I have another dive meet coming up at the end of this month that I can do in London Ont If I want, but I doubt I'll go. So the next meet I'll be shooting for is the John Dickinson Invitational meet in Toronto in March, plenty of time to practice.

But for now I'll take on some extra swimming starting tomorrow until my knee is good enough to start biking, running and diving again. : - )
