The Comeback

I find it amazing how slowly the body recovers the older you get.  After a very minor surgery, I've had to take three weeks off from training.  Add to that the two weeks of 14-18 hour days in Yuma getting ready for testing and I haven't really trained in over a month!  This week I worked out every other day trying to ease back in to a training routine.  I'm feeling good, but I definitely have lost some fitness.  I'm hoping it will come back quickly because I have a race on June 18th.  It's only an Olympic distance race, but still, I would like it to be a positive experience not hell on earth.
