10th week of the 2011 season


153

My motivation has been very low this week, in fact I have only trained three times.

I took Monday off as normal; I had a great group ride the Sunday before yesterday so I needed a day off.

I rejoined my sessions on Tuesday, I was going to have a long swim and guess what a stupid old woman complained to me. She made me stop to argue with her and then I was just out of the session for too long that I would’ve needed to warm up again. She complained because I tapped her leg to signal her I was about to overtake her. She thought that I hit her and she complained that I hurt her. She told me that the pool should be for everyone, well I was on the fast lane and I was there long before her, she saw me, and I was overtaking her every 150m at the most; but if I wanted to train competitively I must go to a different pool. Does it make sense? The pool is for everyone but if you want to train you have to go somewhere else. Anyway, there is etiquette and she clearly doesn’t know it.

On Wednesday I went to the doctor so I did not have time workout again.

On Thursday I was going to work out in the afternoon but my mom managed it to get me a physiotherapist appointment so my whole Thursday afternoon was booked.

On Friday I went for a bike ride, it was cold outside but I decided to go up a long hill and then I was ok. I did not enjoy some of the ride because the road was in a very bad condition but overall was a fun ride.

On Saturday I went for another ride again. This one was a bit longer; the day was nice, sunny and pretty warm. I enjoyed going fairly fast.

On Sunday I was had a bit of stiff legs from the two days before and I decided not to go. Also I was a little lazy to put up the bike, but the major reason why I did not work out was because of the stiff legs.

On Wednesday I went to the doctor, he was back finally after a three week holidays. Apparently I have a plantar fasciitis in my right heel and that is the problem. He also said that the insoles that I was wearing were not good for me, so the chiropodist made a huge mistake. He said I’ll only have to wear insoles for six months and he talked to another chiropodist who is making me new insoles. I was wearing hard insoles and I needed soft insoles and the reinforced parts of the insoles were wrong. According to him I should be able o run in less than 4 weeks. I hope so too.

The physiotherapist said that I could even need less than four weeks, I have already had two painful sessions. I hope the pain will go away because I have had more pain in my shoulder over the weekend than I had before the anti inflammatory sessions. My foot seems to be better than before.

Since I was there I told him about my left shoulder discomfort and he said that I had a normal tendinitis and that a few sessions of physiotherapist will cure me.

So those were good news for me. But there had been some very bad news as well.

I was given two second chances and I blew them both. Then I was given one third chance and I almost blew it. So there must be something wrong with me, I have no motivation to finish what I started many years ago.

Now it is time for me to find a job, I have been looking and I have sent many resumes but only one company has contacted me so far. Best part, it is a great job offer, worst part is that they call me once, I could not pick up the phone and they haven’t called since.

All I wanted to do this weekend was to see her. I needed to spend one of those afternoons that we used to have together and were fun.
