Disagree with Dan on one (major) way. Go do everything you wished you could do...eat like shit, party, be lazy, etc.

Here's my theory: when you're ready to get back to working out, you'll have an easy goal and won't be doing the same ol' same ol' with little more than maintenance...IMO.

Enjoy! Don't swallow too much salt water and don't forget to pee as you exit the water (but not in transition - gross :laughing) I was supposed to do the Muskoka 70.3 next month, but life/new house delays got in the way. Hope to do it next year instead.
 
I have 2 line jobs thiis week. You know that 1 1/2 rope they have you wrestle at the gym. I tie up floating homesso usually run about 100 feet of 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 line out, stretch it tight and knot or splice it. Makes me strong :laughing

Sept 8. I have time. I'm most worried about my joints holding out and getting in the recommended 10 hrs/week of training. The will is there but nagging shoulder and ankle issues make me scared. I might do another round of cortisone shots in my ankles if the docs let me. Not sure about that yet.

Good for you!!

No worries. Challenge will be the training. Have faith and trust in your training, and the race will be easy.

Wish I could be there to cheer you on, but I will leaving out of town that weekend.

Short video clip of me. Last one in the water buys the beer!! :rofl

Near end of clip shows me with this gentleman at the finish. We did last two miles together. I provided him some motivation and emotional support, as this was his first IM 70.3.

Whats the shoulder injury? Anything you can do now about it so it doesnt effect your training?

But man good for you! It always nice to have something to train towards.
 
Mike, that's super cool...stoked for you to be doing something that's got your nerves in a bundle...and you're gonna kill it for sure! Go crush the course!
 
Was planning to hit the gym tonight but went out for a bowl of ice cream instead. Soft swirl with chocolate sprinkles on top. Cause there's always tomorrow.
