Facing your demons - Part 2

Recovery is slow going...4+ weeks since IM and I am still not back to 100%...The aches and pains from the crash have subsided, the 2 day hernia is gone...but my legs are still tired and still loving sleep!

I went for a ride with a buddy on Monday and had spaghetti legs at best...not to mention that the pedal and handlebars need to be addressed before this weekend's ride. He's a strong rider, and I wasn't having any of his pushing it up hills...Mentally anguished but physically content at 16 mph.

The run to this point has been pretty much the same...a struggle to run a solid sub 10 minute mile. Listening to my body, its saying "slow down fool"...almost time to re-evaluate my goal of beating last year's Long Course time. Almost...

12 mile run tomorrow - we'll see what that brings. Hopefully not another 100 degree day for I may melt!
