The End and The Beginning

I think I had a lack of blogging in a while, didn't even remember I had a blog in the first place. Again was inspired by other people to start writing again, *cough* JMD *cough*. So a lot had a happen since my last blog that I don't even know what it was about. I am still injured (2 years and 4 months and still going), now doing chiropractic work that actually helped a bit. The big thing now is that I'm working!! But i'm almost done, just 2 weeks left. I've been working with Moncton 2010 (IAAF World Junior Championships) since the end of January as a Graphic Designer. Now its near the end and the excitement of the Championships is here... but too bad I probably won't be able to see them, since i'm going to be working from the office during the championships week. This would be "the end" I'm referring to in the title.

So now the track side of thing is going...umm...lets say ok. Still having problem with that hamstring but I'm able to get some good workouts in. My coach gave me a week off last week cause I was too tired from work and other stuff. My speed is a lot better than last year, although I haven't really race this year, but my practice runs are smoking fast. So again this year I have been struggling with my runway and my speed being to fast for triple. We have experimented with shorter approach that actually worked, but still faulting more than before even though I'm getting some huge jumps in. So distance is there but can't have "a good one".

Alright this is enough for now, I have to get back to work.

Influenced by Sylvain?! Can't help it, he is the speed and the power!

Well Sylvain just started a blog, and I guess I am very influenced by anyone lol. So here we go!

For those who don't know me, I am known as a computer freak, always on facebook, msn (adium = the best msn client ever!) do my daily training log on http://www.trackie.ca/ , now twitter (follow me) and getting pretty addicted to it. So I had to start a blog too, don't really know what i'll write, but it would be mostly track related, cause track is my life of course.

I don't really have something to write right now, but the only thing I can think of is that this morning I added a bunch of track stars on twitter, and it got me thinking how much I want to be these guys, I dream about it all the time and would really like it to get to that point sometime in my life. With me being injured for 16 months now, I have learned a lot in that period of time. The number one thing I learned is to be patient! In the first couple month of my injury I was always tempted to start training full out and I eventually re-injured myself a couple time cause I couldn't wait for it to be at 100%. In the past couple months the problem is slowly getting better and I keep trying to get back my regular training, but I can now pace myself and say: "Hey man, don't force it, its not worth it right now, keep it on the down low".

So now that I have a better patience, I am confident that I can get to that point, and be cool about the time its gonna take to get there. Now I just need to keep doing it. One jump at a time.
