153
I had just started my second week at rehabilitation. My heel and my shoulder feel better, specially my heel.
So the week started on Monday and I did the same on Tuesday and Thursday. I took a bike ride to and forth my rehabilitation. Since it is a very short ride I tried to go as fast as I could. Also I have been using the TT bike instead of the Tri bike so the trip takes a little longer.
On Wednesday and Friday I did not ride for different reasons.
On Wednesday I had to go to Barcelona in the morning and then rush to the physiotherapist and from there I had to go to the podiatrist to pick up my new insoles. They feel much better than the ones I used to wear. And because of them I feel much better.
On Friday I did not ride to the physiotherapist because it was very windy and cold, besides that I had to eat very late so I was not ready to leave the house with a full stomach.
On Saturday I waited until FC Barcelona’s game started to start training. I had finally set up my new home trainer tire, which by the way it feels well and it is quieter, I took a long ride and I almost finished the entire session but then the problem arouse. I misplaced the tube inside the tire and it popped. It was a very tiny little hole but after two hours and a half the flat tired became evident and I wasn’t feeling right so after a while trying to figure out what the problem was I decided to step out and finish the session, I was only about 15mins short.
On Sunday I chanced the tube and I took another long ride on the trainer. This time I brought my new insoles and a huge playlist with me which I almost finished. I should be careful with my playlists because one of the videos was a little too spicy, I thought it would just be another American new show but it turned out to be from the UK and it was very explicit. It is not nice to have a boner up there. And I also watch a movie that apparently some people have fainted in the theaters while watching it and I was lucky enough not to watch the hardest stuff on the bike.
On Monday, while on my way back from the physiotherapist I finally got that phone call that I wanted. We set up and appointment for Wednesday, that’s why I had to go to Barcelona. I hope I get that job it looks very well and I am eager to start working and I would love that job. It is like a dream come true, at least for what I have been told that the duties would be. My opinion about the interview is that it went well but I have thought too many times that something was going smooth and then it turned away that I have no hope and I don’t even know who the other candidates are.
The other reason why I had to go to Barcelona was to send a form because of the huge mistake that I made and I had to go and try my best to fix it.
This week I have also lost a bet to her and I’ll have to cook a meal. It has been a very long time since I have cooked for someone else and I don’t even know what the menu will be. Plus I have to do it in an unusual outfit.
I have always heard that when athletes are injured they come back as a different person. I had never believed that until this week. Lying on the couch while getting treated has helped me to slow down and to look at things differently. I don’t know if I had such thoughts and they will only be thoughts or it will make a change on me. But I have realized that even the training was very important to me there were things that were even more important than it. 9months ago I did not have as much knowledge about physical activity as I do now. I thought I had to train everyday or I would fail to accomplish my dreams. Now I have learned that I could’ve missed a day or two and I should’ve enjoyed life a little more with the ones and things I care and had to do.
Lying down, the job interview, my physiotherapist, school grades, …; have made me realize that I am not who I thought I was, I am no superhero, no superman, I am just an average guy from small town. I need to get practical and forget about dreams. There are things that just won’t happen and I just have to stop waiting for them to happen. I should forget about them. I should start settling down and start thinking in a realistic future instead of all those dreams that take me nowhere.
I have also realized that I am tired of behaving the way that I was doing it. I thought she deserved everything and sometimes I was putting her in front of me. Sure I liked to do it but I think sometimes I should’ve stepped up and speak up. Too bad if she didn’t like what I was doing, it did not work out anyway, so why the trouble?
Deep down I wish we had one more chance. Although, as I said before I need to get rid of these thoughts and start thinking in achievable goals.
