Here I am 2008

I was rested for triathlon training/activities since Aug 07 due to outstation jobs in Papua New Guinea. The most I did when alone in PNG was playing 3 hours of badminton in a single day/3 times per week and running for 35 min on once in a blue moon basics.

After wearing the wrong shoes to play badminton aggressively in PNG for 3 months, I finally get my feet injured. My right arch is having plantar fascia, a type of foot injury where I feel extremly pain during the first step in every morning when I'm standing up. The situation getting worsen when I just ignored the pain during Sept - Dec 07. Until Jan 08, after I've badly twisted my right ankle in Brisbane, my right feet is so painful that I even feel the pain after wearing shoes and walk on carpet surface.

I asked my fren, Lily and she introduced me to have a check at the one and only Podiatry specialist in Malaysia which the clinic in situated in TTDI. After a few treatments done for my twisted ankle, I finally get the injury cured and now is focusing on healing on my arch pain or plantar fascia problem. One very good thing about the podiatry specialist is that he believes in non-medical treatment for podiatric diseased than all the other doctor who is only focus on pain management. I'm now waiting to get my custom made insole to be ready and will resume to my running after that. Imiss those running days, kind of feel like just wear a shoes and run out there.

I actually did run a normal jog of 30 mins around my house area last sunday after 1.5 hours of trainer cycling in the house. I don't feel any pain until today and will take extra care of my feet in the future. I'm now focusing on getting my stamina back and did alot of indoor cycling and yet to try the road biking yet after almost 6 months absent!

Here I've set a target to better of all my timing in each triathlon races this year and think big to participate in this year half-ironman race. Let's work towards the goal!!

Here I come , triathlon 2008 :)
