Hear Ye, Hear Ye, GOOD NEWS

I spoke with one of my doctors Tuesday. While there is still a concern of overall kidney and liver damage and the issue of the adrenaline surges, my tests numbers have been strong enough to allow me to begin training. I'm a triathlete again!!!

For the next month I am allowed to train as long as I make sure my nutrition and fluid intake are perfect. Training limits are Zone 1 & 2. I am not allowed to push it at any time and I must submit detailed notes of all my food intake, morning HR and daily exercises for their review. After that will come some tests and then progression or regression in training protocols.

I would expect this blog to become a blueprint, hopefully the perfect blueprint, for how someone deconditioned can go from a Common Man to triathlete. Expect me to revert to a data geek posting workouts along with pertinent info regarding my energy, recovery and upkeep. If I'm typing it once I can copy/paste too. If you did not notice already, I uploaded some training widgets along the sidebar for weekly/ monthly / yearly totals.

I think there is much to say but not the words to say it. My heart is soaring. I laughed louder, I smiled wider. I walked faster. I feel like a missing piece of a puzzle has been given back to me.

There's treasure everywhere.
