where have i been?

I have not written because well, I have not been training. I have been running and doing various other things but I have not been training because I have been sick. Not the cough hack and wheeze sick but just my body is run down and I have no energy sick. I feel like I have a weight on my shoulder and I do know what that weight is. It bugs me that I don’t.

I move into my new apartment this up coming weekend, and we have a pool in the complex. I am hoping that all I have to do is walk down the sidewalk to go do a swim workout will help prompt me to go workout when at the end of it before going to work I will be able to take a shower in my own shower before going to work. Or go swim after I get home from work.

Nothing else to talk about really,

I will have a review for a friend’s band up, my trip to Atlantic City, and the infamous master’s trip.

Expect that in the next week or so.

The Other page

Not only do I have this wonderful page but I have another as well, there is a link to it on the side bar but sense my side bar seems to be freaking out and I am not sure why this is the link

Basically it is just as it says, me rambling, things that have nothing to do with my Ironman Training!

LOTS OF FUN!

It has been 15 days and I have done 13 workouts, I should have done 18 workouts! I am still figuring out this timing and scheduling of workouts to fit into my life. I am doing well getting my runs in because that is simple I can do those in the dark when I need to. Biking is a little tougher but still doable and I usually get my big rides in on the weekends however those seem to be the only rides that I am doing. I think I need to invest in a stationary trainer because that way I can workout at anytime and not worry about getting hit with a car, maybe if I hit it big in Atlantic City this weekend ill go buy one. Swimming, this is a whole other story. I have not been swimming, which is a problem because this is by far my weakest side of the race. Right now I swim at the YMCA and I just can not get myself to get up in the mornings. O I get up, and then I shut off the alarm and fall right back asleep. I think it’s the entire process of getting my clothes ready for the day and then having to get ready at the Y, I could go after work but I have been working late and have been really hungry so I just go home and eat dinner then run instead. I still have 4.5 months left so I need to really buckle down and get this squared away. Because it does not matter how much I talk about my training, if I don’t have the miles in come race day I will not performer to my expectations and then I will be very MAD!
