Since I haven’t given an update since IM WI I figured I’d post to let everyone know what I’ve been up to. I took some time off of training following IMWI to let the body rebuild and recover.

I have been very busy with physical therapy school, so I guess it is OK to have some time off of training. I am also working at the local YMCA in the fitness center. But following a 2 week break, I was getting bored so I had to start working out again. My focus this off season is to be my running, as although it has improved much, I still have lots to gain.

My initial goal of running 60+ mile weeks has been recently derailed by some medial knee pain. I have self-diagnosed myself with some medial plica irritation. I hope that this resolves fairly quickly, as anyone who spends anytime around me knows that when I am injured I can be pretty crabby.

But I guess better to be injured now than during the season. If I can recover soon I hope to run a good time at the local Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 10k back home in Sheboygan. Last year I was top 10, and I was hoping to do better this year, but this little nagging injury is not helping.
