Plagued by a strained hamstring and entirely too much ‘life stuff’, I can’t seem to keep my training consistent. The Hy-Vee Triathlon is a month away and while I think I could probably pull it off with a minimal amount of training, I’m concerned that I may end up sitting the rest of the season out and potentially miss Ironman Wisconsin.

On the other hand, maybe it’s for the best with everything else that’s going on…

  • Heading to St. Louis in a couple weeks for a USAT Coach Level 1 clinic which will result in being a certified triathlon coach
  • Rina and I will be in San Francisco next month finalizing living arrangements, so that we can get the hell outta Chicago
  • Starting in June, I’ll be working on a special personal project (again, more on that later)
So much fun…so little time

Training Resumed http://shawncheatham.com/blog/my-training/finally_training_resumed/ http://shawncheatham.com/blog/my-training/finally_training_resumed/#comments Fri, 09 May 2008 16:40:20 +0000 Shawn http://shawncheatham.com/blog/?p=82 I went for my first run in almost 6 weeks yesterday! I’ve been nursing a strained hamstring that just wouldn’t seem to cooperate with my training regime but yesterday I was able to squeeze in a 45 minutes run. It was a bit longer than I probably should have gone but I couldn’t help but push it a little. I went to bed last night wondering whether I would wake up regretting having went so long but I feel surprisingly good. Although I’ve been somewhat active through the recovery, I can definitely tell that I’ve been on the bench…45min is usually an easy run for me but yesterday it was challenging. 

Happy to be back…now all I have to do is take some time to ramp up and not re-injure myself.
