Frustration

I have not blogged in a while because I have been frustrated with my training. One thing to another has lead me to not be able to train.

Just over 2 weeks ago my training was going great. I was starting to focus more on speed but it soon came to an end. The flu was going around my family which started off with Miranda not feeling that well for a few days. On the Wednesday I got home from class and was getting ready to go coach and then a swim but Makayla ended up throwing up everything that she was taking in. This went on until Friday before Miranda took her to the hospital to get check out. We were worry and even called tel -a-health on Thursday to see if we should take her in. Well we were glad to have taken her in on Friday because the doctor said that she was extremely dehydrated and that if we waited any longer it would not be good. That night I ended up getting the flu and it was the worst I have ever had. It took me almost a full week to get over it. Well Makayla ended up coming home after 5 days in the hospital but it took a few days more before she was back to her self. I am glad she is back to normal it was hard seeing here in the condition that she was in.

I thought that with the flu gone I could start trying to train again. It did take a day or two to start to feel better at training without feeling so drained in energy. This didn't last long. The top of my right foot was very sore and made walking and running unbearable. So back to taking the time off and giving my foot some time to rest and get better. I don't know what I did but it is very sore to walk on. This has gone on for a week now and I am getting very frustrated with not being able to train.

I am hoping that this will go away by Monday as I am icing my foot every 15min now. I have to keep telling myself that this is just a set back and that not to push it because I might be out longer. Well Muskoka is in 3 weeks and I need to focus on the my swim and bike and hopefully when my foot gets back I will be able to get my run back quickly.

I did get in a swim today and was looking at biking but with Miranda working and with the amount of homework I am hopping to get out on my bike at 7pm.
