I hope I don't have to say this too much, but I didn't run, bike or swim this week. I still have my cough when I do cardio or even laugh. I had run four miles last week, but my lungs just weren't in it. I'll have to look into research on training sick and or with injuries. My shoulder still hurts enough that I can't swim or bike. I should have ran this week. Instead I played softball and lifted weights. The weights get me breathing heavy but trigger the cough spasm. Being sick sucks and injuries are no good either, both at that same time.. I hate it. The sickness had caused me to miss work with a 102 fever, so its better than that now. The injury to my shoulder was obtained playing softball and diving into base. Boys are stupid sometimes it would seem, but I was safe. I did keep my diet and actually lost 3lbs. I'm just 3 lbs my target weight now.
Injury training with triathlon is always seems possible. I my shoulder hurts, I can run, if my legs hurt, I can swim. I can usually swim and ride sore as well. I'm just a wimp runner. But it does seem like there are a lot of options work our injury.
So after my bad non training week and good diet week, I'm about to go on vacation. I'm hoping I get good chance to run on vacation and take in some new scenery. I also brought my ab and cardio workouts on my iphone. I'm sure my diet and weight will take a hit. So as I got so close today, I need to try to keep myself close to where I am now. If I get in some good running it should be ok. Swimming in the ocean while not laps or for any distance, I will get my arms moving if I can in open water. I haven't been out for any open water swims yet this year.
Good luck in your training. Let me know if you train sick or with injury.
