Awkward Phase

Drawing a little bit of a blank today sorry, trying to think about what to write. I am sort of in that awkward middle phase of the injury where it isn't bad enough to make interesting reading, but at the same time isn't recovered enough to let me train. Today I have just sort of...been. Which isn't all that interesting.

This phase always hits during a long term injury. That realisation of what life would be like if you didn't let a sport consume every spare moment of it. The good and the bad of it. Watching my family get ready for life this morning, rather than just hearing my family get ready for life over the roar of the Kickr. The nice feeling you have during the day when you know you won't have to find the motivation to get out training again in the afternoon. That bored feeling you have during the day when you realise that you won't have to get out training again in the afternoon. I am in the honeymoon period at the moment where I am kind of enjoying the excuse to not be exercising. That phase will of course pass soon to be replaced with the feeling of slowly going insane because I can't get outside. I am hoping though that with this injury the insane period won't last too long since all indications are that I will be able to start doing some training in a week or two.

Or perhaps even a little bit sooner. I am thinking that I might go for a walk in the morning. Nothing particularly strenuous (I am not allowed to do that) but just making a start. Plus the mornings are being particularly lovely at the moment so it would be nice to go and take advantage of that. See how I go in the morning, but I think that will be the plan.

I think that is me done for now though. I am still working on the Sydney 70.3 Race Report which will make it up better late than never. If ever I have an excuse to be tardy on a race report though I think I have a one at the moment so I don't feel that guilty about it.
