PT or Not

Well, after talking to 2 different physical therapists, I'm stuck. One is in my network but not my doctor's #1 but full til mid July. The other one is available but is going to cost me $200(my deductible) and then $30 per visit with 2 visits a week. The therapist tells me that's in 2 to 3 weeks I should see improvement although it just seems that's way over optimistic. I just don't know if it's worth it especially if it doesn't help at all by the time the Ironman rolls around. I just don't know. I'm the total doctor skeptic which is why I didn't go to the podiatrist until just Tuesday even after dealing with this injury since early May.

So I could spend probably roughly $380 or not? Hmm...I really want to get a bike traveling case.

I'm going to run again today and maybe I'll see how it goes. If the foot is completely in massive pain, I'll probably cave in to the PT. I just have a feeling it's not going to work.

So I showed Elena how to "carry" for addition. She got placed in advanced math next year so I got get her ready. She can also do simple subtraction but doesn't understand negative numbers, yet. She can add up "change" pretty good which was on the list of stuff they'll be doing a bunch in first grade. All in all it's pretty interesting to see Elena learn stuff.

Another big weekend block of training coming up. I'm definitely having trouble staying motivated right now. The training is definitely starting to wear on me. I thought about it and this is the longest single event training focus I've ever done. Marathons were always around a 6 month training cycle. I've been focused on this event for 10 months so far. A part of me wants the event to be next week and my other half says I don't have enough time left.
