time flys

Whow.... is it really March 21? Holy shit..... I am seriously a busy person. Seems 12 hours in the Ironman as suddenly swapped and preped me for an even exchange of work with 12 hour shifts back to back to back to well hu, back... however I have been doing what I can and what I do isn't sittin in the office kind of work either. But man the race is right around the next calander week. 29th. I am seriously feel happy. Being able to brave a half ironman with; ready for this? No official training schedule; a new wet suit; new wheels; largest distance in one day on the bike, 40 miles 1 x in 30 days; longest run 4 weeks ago, 10 miles; and very little sleep; thanks to my daughter, I love you honey but daddy is tired.

However, on Tueaday I will be turning 32 years old and I turn into Niche'. My other friend; Hey Bob.... is known as Freud. We tend to get Philosophical from time to time. Reflecting on one's life I have to say that for the first time I really do not care what time I get....
I am in a good place in my life where my hard 'training' in other areas of my life. I am on the brink of getting my dream job, and ready to move into my first house in a not-so-bad - area. I am going to perform 6+ hours of exercise with minimial training and have enough new equiptment to make me feel like a kid that just got done with an "Adult Toy's_R'US" and I'm not anxious what-so-ever....That is a nice feeling.

I don't have too many people in my life that think that is too shabby either. I am happy.

Happy Birthday Aaron, Smile Big....Nana's Proud

final......ly!

Not that I have any specific problems with computers, HONEST! however after my computer crashed 2x within a month, I decide to shell out the necessary cash to buy and update our computer system. Well can't say that it was a waste of time, after all I tripled the speed of my downloads, and increased my memory. Plus isn't new nicer? I am really impressed with myself; if that's possible, that I was able to get everything up and running without many problems. Other than my father-in-law and I trying to get the wireless settings working correctly, no other hick-ups happened.

As for my training, it is simply non-existent. I workout, but it does not seem the same. I was quite busy since Friday and I know that 2-3 days off does not do much, but I feel like shit. I am not as active and more mentally frustrated that I can't get out and go for a long bike ride or run. So I am going to let it go and realize that at times like this I should just see what my base fitness is going to produce. With my Super-Frog Half Ironman here in 4 weeks there really does not seem to have a reason to 'taper'. So, I will try to keep things moving and rest for the last week before. I am being a pussy about this whole thing. Let's compare notes from 6 months ago.
My swimming split has dropped by 10 sec per 100M. My average running pace had dropped to 8:50's. And my legs have gotten stronger from Tribuy's Tri Team. I am able to do workouts, that killed me just 4 weeks ago, and I now run 4-5 miles after and feel like it was just a warm up.
So, ya, now that I have read it, I should just shut it.

That is why I like having this blog. What I write, I read. And enjoying both on my new computer!!!!
