As is typical of this time of year I have been in a bit of a funk. This seems to be a common theme amongst the locals this time of year. Well I have decided to take this challenge head on. I declare "Bring on the Funk"! I am determined to win this time around. Diet, training, sleeping well and great tunes will be my weapons in my battle against the winter Funk.
This week marks the beginning of my rebellion. The day has to start off with the proper fuel. I have decide that my daily fuel intake will start with coffee, hot oatmeal (my grandpa ate it everyday, so its gotta be good), a fruit yogurt smoothie (ingredients to follow) and something I am stealing from SQW, ginger tea. I should be off to a good start with all this.
Next up is daily training. Doesnt matter what it is but I gotta get in something everyday. This may involve me getting back into the pool a little sooner than planned but thats ok. The foot is getting better but we cant let it help out mother nature. Good core routine as well as some weights I think this winter. Improove the power output a bit for next spring.
Ah lack of sleep! My life long nemesis we meet once again. This is the year I will conquer you! I will no longer be a slave to your oppressive regime. By the spring I will no longer declare I am tired when someone asks how I am feeling.
As for good tunes. I am fully hooked up in that department. I may have a dinosaur of a computer but I have the webninja to hook me up in that department. He safely keeps well over 35000 songs in his secret underwater base. One quick call and the Ipod is fully loaded with brand new tracks.
I am all packed and ready for battle.

Hi,
I was just wondering what you've done for your foot injury. My dad has been experiencing the same thing for a while now, and is trying to get rid of it. 6 weeks off of running and it was still there. Did you see a doctor about the slipped bone?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

The foot is a bit of an ongoing dilema. I took a few weeks off and it seemed to be getting better so I had a go at running again. Not good. Had a physio consult and the solution presented was to keep the arch supported all the time. This unfortunately means wearing footwear all the time. I have made my own customized orthotics from some birkenstock orthotics which seems to be helping. I havent had another go at running yet but will try again on thursday I think. I have also been looking at what my big toe and its neighbour are doing when I walk and have come to the conclusion that they are part of the problem. Solution has been to try and keep them stretched out and long. Kinda like in the pool I guess. This feels different when I walk for sure. We will see on thursday about the running part.
Hope that helps.
Nice to know someone is layin the hurt on Simon.
