Shoulder is better

I've been a stickler for the most part for my PT program regarding my shoulder. It actually feels much better at this point which is nice. I'm also babying it by not using it too aggressively either. My PF is doing better as well because I'm actually doing the stretches and exercises.

I had a track workout on Tuesday morning. First one in a long time and it hurt like hell. I did 10x400m and I probably averaged around 1:48/400m. First one was 1:35 which was WAY too fast, 2nd was 1:53 which was too slow, and then I settled into a good pace for the last 8. I need to do more stuff like that. Other than that, my runs were fine and even got a couple of swims in as well. Biking is meh since I'm so good at it. Actually, oh, here is another good workout. On Thursday, we had a brick workout with Texas Iron. We did 2x(~3.5mi bike, ~1.2mi run) but the bike and run were hard. I ended up dropping a few people on the bike because we were suppose to do these in groups of 2-4 and trade off on pulls pretty frequently. Looks like I still have some decent cycling legs. Then, on the run, I averaged about 7:25/mile which is way faster than I was expecting. This is really good because my first triathlon in a year and a half is in about 12 days from now. It's kind of exciting to see how I'll do. Oh, I got in about 15 miles last week.

Also, I've been a pussy lately about a bunch of things. I'm done being a pussy. Part of it is because I've been a head case for the last few weeks and I've found that the best way for me to overcome that is to get really focused about something. I'm keeping track of all of my calories and exercise again while still trying to do every workout that my coaches give me. I need to harden the fuck up and get serious, focused, and disciplined to clear my head.
