Western States, here I come again

It’s official, I am back in! Entries to last years starters were sent out in an email Monday and I confirmed my spot. This morning on my run I thought if 40 minutes is this tough how can I run for 24 hours? But I know I can do it and I have a long time to bring my fitness back however slowly I must. I have a lot of muscle soreness, sadly, from my short run earlier this week, more importantly no knee pain today! Maybe just maybe my problem was an overuse injury and I have let the body take of itself and heal over the last 7 weeks.
Met up with the Down Sound Racers this morning some of them did the Black Diamond Tri this weekend. The race reports were pretty rough. These are true Iron men, extremely talented athletes and they had some troubles out there. It must be one tough course. Even though I am slow and sucking air, they welcomed me back graciously, love our community. Now they all begin training for their Ironman next June, it is going to be a fun 9 months!

Slow and sucking air at 8:24/mile…?
I’ll take some of that slow any day!
Glad you’re back!
