I'm back

I have officially returned to my blog so I thought that I would start with my training over the past couple of weeks.

As far as mileage, my training had significantly dropped until last weekend where I got back onto my bike. Running for me lately seems to be continually going down hill. I am still having trouble with the pain in my hip and I’m having a lot of work on it to try and get it fixed, but it almost feels like anything that I do isn’t working. This is having a massive effect on my running because I’m not being able to complete my sessions. I have a realistic goal for state cross-country but I feel like I wont be able to achieve it if I can’t even get out and run.

Cycling is going really well and I can definitely feel that I’m getting stronger and this makes me really confident as the Coral Coast Triathlon approaches. The last two weeks though had been pretty slow because I kept waking up feeling tired and it took me awhile to recover from a late night I had a few weeks ago. This week thankfully I feel like I’m back to normal and this means I can go out and up my kilometres again.

The most successful thing for me was yesterday when I did my first swim session after months and months of no training and complaining about the cold. I’m not training with a squad so it’s all by myself and hopefully I can get my motivation back and when it warms up later this year I am hoping to re-join the squad to help and prepare me for state triathlon where I am aiming to make the Queensland team.
