Chin Up!

Although it's too early to feel this way because tomorrow may bring different results, mild drepression is starting to set in. My right Achilles was tender and sore yesterday and again today. I'm icing it as I type this and trying to be hopeful that it will be fine for tomorrow's run.
After taking a good long break from running after my season, I thought it would be enough to have my Achilles healthy and strong again. I still think it can be enough, but I have to use caution and be patient. This is difficult however, because I want to start building. Now, I realize I don't have to build too much right now, and I can take more time off if needed, but I would rather not. I would rather be strong and healthy and work toward running the 5/3 Riverbank Run 25k with Maggie in May, but if I need to, I can take more time off and build later. It's just not ideal.
Another thing that's going on is that my brand new, beautiful bike has been in the shop for about a month with some strange locking thing going on. It's frustrating on a variety of levels. I want to ride more to see if the position is right because it's a new position that I didn't feel 100% dialed into prior to having it go in the shop. Furthermore, I don't want my bike giving Village Bike Shop a negative vibe. I don't want them to think, "Oh, that frickin' bike again," when I take it in for something, or if my posiiton needs to be adjusted.
It's time to shift my focus though, because I don't want to allow negativity to consume me.
It is sunny out.
I'm going to have a great ride later on my indoor trainer later while I continue to enjoy the podcasts I regulalry download.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's swim.
GU just came out with a cool new Roctane flavor...Cherry Lime.
By and large, I'm healthy.
I got my Road to Ironman Louisville, Episode 2 out.
The Lions won for the second time in two weeks, and yesterday's win was on the road.
Depression...screw you, chin up baby!
Peace,
