"IMWI in doubt???"
Mann, it has been a rough 2 weeks.
Let me start by saying I'm totally screwed right now. Or did I screw myself over, by doing to much..
Two weeks ago, before my Mad City Half marathon I noticed something weird about myself, felt okay but something was out of place....Oh, by the way I did have a suckass Half marathon..
Went to the doctor and after waiting 2 hours, the doctor tells me I have a "HERNIA". My face turned white and saw my hopes of even completing or even starting Ironman Wisconsin in DOUBT...
After the news I was in deep denial, and truthfully, depressed. How can this happen to me, what did I do wrong, trying to look back at my workouts...But I guess right now it does not matter how, but it is what it is..A major injury..
Now what am I going to do about it...
So tomorrow is the big Surgical consult day..I guess my racing season will depend on what he has to say and figure out if I even have a prayer to make the starting line of IM Wisconsin...
Right now, just trying to stay positive and told my wife, if I even have a chance to start the Ironman, I will at least attempt to do that and try to finish, which will be my goal from now on..Dreams of fast finishing times have disappeared from my head.
Thoughts go now to just trying to finish the struggle I started once I signed up for this race..I guess it will be about the journey now and hopefully with an ending that I have hoped for.
And I guess that will be good enough for me..
Because not trying is just not in my nature....
"Impossible is Nothing", my training motto..

Try to keep your spirits up. I have and Iron distance race comming up Spetember 23rd, the Oklahoma City RedMan and found out a couple weeks ago that I developed a stress fracture in my hip. I've been completely off running for two weeks now and have two more to go before I cn try and run. Fortunatly I can still bike and swim.
I don't know what to expect from a hernia but I sure wish you well, I know what it's like to see a dream like this start to fade before your eyes.
