Training for my first Ironman race last year was quite an adventure. I tested my body and mind in ways I hadn’t considered before.

Last night- no extra pain! Yay! It is all there- just dull. Totally looking forward to getting the physical therapist to assess it the end of this week. I managed to drop the excuses and get to the YMCA today for about 30 minutes of intervals on the elliptical. The rest of the day was…
