After catching a fly ball during a Portland's Beaver game this week, I was told that, in Japan, it's said to bring good fortune for those that are lucky enough to do just that. Well, I don't know if all that's true, but, I'm going with it. I'll take all the luck I can get at this point to finish IM Canada.
Despite suffering yet another injury, on July 31st, I was getting a bit frustrated and anxious due to IM being just around the corner, plus my inability to train during a crucial final week of long mileage. I wasn't able to run or ride without causing further injury. So, I threw caution to the wind and decided to see an acupuncurist, on the recommendation of David/Yoshie. Well...while I still have my doubts, after a 20 minute electro-acupuncuture (yes, I said electric needles) session, the injury was significantly healed. I couldn't believe it...I still have to pinch myself. Of course, I have to temporarily wear this herbal patch and drink this nasty-tasting herbal drink (thank god for honey). Nancy calls it my witches brew...you know... the Lip of Toad, Eye of Knute type of connoctions. Nevertheless, I'm game, so long as it keeps me injury free until IM.
So, with 15 days to go before the pain-fest, I guess I'm ready, relatively speaking. I'm convinced it won't be a PR; but, I thinking very positive. I'm going to finish...injury free.
PS: Send me all the positive mojo you can. ;-)
