my chiropractor shared this with me. I found it interesting, but information overload for me. It's definitely made me analyze my running while I'm running though

end of 2011
Well, the season ended a lot more challenging than it began...surprisingly because at the start I was coming off my Achilles Tendonitis. I start to feel the symptoms of burning out in August, and had some pain in my achilles reappear due to overuse, so I had to take a bunch of time off in late August and early September.
My goal of winning/podiuming in Wasaga wasn't achieved, but like I said in my goal setting entry, it was dependant on the participants, not the effort. I put in an effort that would have got me 1st in my AG the last 2 years, but I ended up 6th...just goes to show that all the other fast people in my AG looked at past Wasaga times and decided to show up!
Some other great non-triathlon news...I got engaged! Tanya didn't think it was going to happen because I'll be training for IM Tremblant all next year, and since I don't do well with stress, she didn't think that I'd be able to manage the stress of training, stress of teaching, and the stress of planning a wedding....but I'll show her! Actually, the wedding planning has been going pretty good so far. We have date, venue, caterer/decorator/planner, priest, wedding parties, colours. We just need to finalize the list, settle on the menu, make invitations, and all the other little things that I'm not thinking about, but will cause me frustration because I will think we're done but not totally.
All that's left for the season is the Base Borden 13.1. I was supposed to do the Hamilton 26.2, but my oldest/dearest friend Michelle is getting married the day before and I don't want to have to worry about running my first marathon when I should be celebrating Michelle's wedding!
The season has been a successful one. I pushed myself beyond boundaries I ever thought imaginable. I'm currently planning my 'off-season' but it seems that all the ideas I put into my head have me working pretty hard, so I'll have to make sure that I clearly cut down any and all intensity so that in January I can begin the climb to becoming an Ironman!
