I had my first what I would call really intense work out of Ironman training this passed weekend. This included swimming and running on Friday (2 hours), Biking 60 miles on the Ironman loop and running 30 minutes Saturday, and yesterday was a 1.25 mile swim and a 13 mile run at a pretty descent pace. I am really enjoying the new challenge of a triathlon. It's funny, I'm sore in places I never thought I could/would be. Today is a rest day thank goodness and I am hobbling around like an old man.
Arthritis Update: After a lot of back and forth with my doctor and insurance companies, I finally found a clinic and a physician who will see me at the UW Hospital for my TMJ problems in my jaw. I am excited and nervous to see what they will have to say. I also am hoping it is a quick solution and not something more drastic. The doctor is unfortunately retiring so it won't be a quick fix, but at least I will be able to make sure I am not doing more damage than good.
Surround yourself with people who provide you with support and love and remember to give back as much as you can in return.
