I could possibly run for title of "most forgetful blogger" or something of that sort as only recently I remembered that I had this little site and that it was over due for an update. Where to start? Well I'm just going to keep things short and to the point... it has been a LONG winter/spring! All was good until early March when suddenly I was having to lift my leg just to get into my car... running was so out of the question it wasn't even funny. After seeing two physiotherapists, having an x-ray, bone scan and now waiting for an MRI my doctor, who specializes in sports medicine, still doesn't have a definite answer as to what happened. Most likely scenario is that I stress fractured the neck of my femur... random place, but I am prone to stress fractures! The other option was just a bad case of tendonitis where my rectus femoris inserts. Either way after almost 3 months off I am in the clear to ease back into running! You never realize how much you miss something until you can't do it! This put a huge damper to my racing plans as I wanted to race the Subaru tri-series and focus on the half distance. But, keeping optimism in check coach Noa and I think that maybe I can return to racing in July provided that all heals up with my hip/femur injury. So please send your positive healing vibes my way :)
School is out for the summer and I have received word that I am finally into the kinesiology program at uvic, just in time to finish the very last of my courses. Hopefully only a few more semesters until I graduate with a BSc in Kinesiology and a minor in Biochemistry. For the summer months I am working out at the Running Room in Langford- so come see me if you want some new runners! I have a summer bucket list of fun things and personal goals that I would like to achieve so I am planning on working to check each one off my list by the time september rolls around!
Well that's it for now- and I promise I'll update a little more frequently as now I am back to running I am finally feeling more like my old self and the drive to compete is back!
Beautiful Thetis! Water is warm already!
Back to running- wooohooo
