Felt good going for my 'runs' but alas apparently my ankle still is not healed correctly.
Military medical system has failed me again.
CT scan on Tuesday and hopefully we'll find out what is going on.
Don't care though I ams till running the Resolution Run...well maybe walking.

Still Going and Going
Ran Elk Lake loop here in Victoria for the forst time since moving back. 10k slow and easy to make certain that my ankle holds up.
I was very very fresh. Felt good the whole time. Wore a compression top and calf sleeves, maybe they helped, maybe not...but I think so. The loop was same as I recall back in 2006. Weather was mild, almost no wind, lots of friendly people-dogs-horses and magnificently easy trail with vistas to match. I love this stuff.
I am still a go for the resolution run in January; the Mrs and I are both fired up. Only thing we need to do is continue running and stop eating like crap. My diet has been horrible unless you count onion rings as fresh vegetables. I cannot seen to escape. Laziness and boredom seem to be the biggest promoters of the unhealthy diet. I will stop, oh yes I will.
Looking at the website for IM St George last night and feeling extremely tempted. I am in no way capable of doing an IM right but maybe I could by May. But St George? Arguably the hardest current IM? Nah. I think I have to follow a more gradual plan. Certainly an Oly distance thsi year for certain but probably also a half. Then next year or one more onto the IM.
'Drink milk love life' is not working for me. I LOVE milk btu apparently it is losing interest in my. My gut hurts and I let loose the gas...a lot. I think I have to give it up. No more choco milk for me.
Anyhow, on to work and something in training later on.

First Step to Getting Back
Yesterday the first step back to a healthy productive lifestyle was started.
I signed both my wife and I up for the 1 Jan 2012 10km Resolution Run. I will start with some more concentrated and focused running later today. Looking at a 45min 'long run' at an easy pace. The rest of my week will consist of five more runs of varying lengths and types.
Raining today and cold so it will be a treat...I guess it is a good idea to run in this now, so that I can prove to myself that am committed once again.

Coming Soon!!!!!!!!!!
A new training life blog on my way to another half ironman distance triathlon. More than likely it will be the Sooke Triathlon in August next year.
The only way this will work is if - for the first time in a long time - I can go injury free. Back surgeries, broken limbs, nerve damage etc have all conspired to keep me away.
Stay tuned for updates.
