I'm never too sure what I am going to write about....I try to catch up on my emails either first thing in the morning or just before I go to bed........But I have become addicted to my TP Therapy products and dvd's..www.tptherapy.com ..So its what I am usually doing first thing in the morning or last thing at night...You have got to check them out. I think every house hold should have thse "products", not just every triathelte.

I have used TP THERAPY on and off in the past, but this July my back blew out....honestly I was bed ridden for two weeks and then when I could walk, walking to the end of the drive way broke my out in a sweat!!

Sooooo I am in Heavy training for The World Championships Ironman Hawaii, and it all comes crashing to an end! Or so that's what all the doctors tell me...but I knew that I would prove them wrong yet again!.....I got on the phone to Cassidy the owner of TP therapy and from that day he changed my life and my out look. He told me i would race in Hawaii.................

I got my dvd's sent to me the next day, Hip Therapy and Knee therapy, and within a week I would be doing the dvd classes 3 times a day. each session is about 30minutes long. So even now though it's the "OFF" season for me now, I still make a point of doing a 30 minute workout session. Actually I still haven't had a massage since Ironman Hawaii.........I just want to share my experience as I know that as athletes we are always pushing our bodies to the brink.....and if you are like me, often just training through PAIN!

Ok off to work out now....

What a great day! Last week I started going back to the Moksha Yoga.....HOT yoga classes. Still today I am struggling in the class, with the heat, paying attention and feeling sick.........this is a sure sign to me that I am TOXIC. Often how I feel after an Ironman. So I am going to be good and try to diligently go 4 plus times a week. I think the discipline will help me focus when I am racing, especially in HOT climates...like Hawaii.

Next up was a run......Just a run....No structure, no times to meet just go out and see how I feel. Legs or rather my quads are still feeling rather crappy, so decided to just run 13km instead of the 16 km I had planned. Plus it had started to snow a little when I was out and the wind was like GALE force. Came home and had one of my famous ICE BATHS....oooohhhhh I just realized they are not as fun in the winter as they are in the summer. Then had to have a Hot bath to get the chill out!!

Am feeling VERY EXCITED about race season 2009....This year was GREAT....I finally raced, Ironman Lanzarote, one of the HARDEST races. And raced at the COOLEST race ever, Ironman Hawaii.

until tomorrow........

My first blog.

Woo Hoo my first ever Blog. As I sit here I wonder, while drinking a glass of white, The Little Penguine, what am I going to write about and who is going to read this other than my husband, Steve Fleck and my two sisters Pamela and Genevieve.
