Once upon a time there was a blog about a girl training for a triathlon. She was going through some health stuff that was causing inexplicable pain in her feet, preventing her from running. One day she got the brilliant idea to train for a triathlon.
She hoped by the time race day rolled around she would be able to run. In the meantime, it’d give her a reason to focus on a different kind of training: swimming and biking.
Now, three years later, that blog has nothing to do with running or triathlons. An injury followed by pregnancy put a hiatus on the training talk. To fill in the gaps during running rehab, food and recipes started appearing. When it became clear there wouldn’t be any running for awhile, food took over.
But food was never the point of the blog. Triathlons were. Training. Fueling. Recovering. Training again.
It’s been awhile. But maybe, just maybe it’s time for it to come back.

I would love to hear about your road back! I have been curious if you are going to go back on your meds now and how you are doing with your pain.
Ok I keep putting this post off… but just so you know, I haven’t gone back on my meds and I’m hoping to stay that way, but we’ll see what happens after I’m done nursing. The pain is slowly coming back, but it’s nowhere near what it was pre-pregnancy. Something about the hormones I guess? I hope you’re hanging in there, I know how tough it is!
