Get on it.

I’ ve hit that point. I waited and waited now finally my body says it’s time get back to it. I tried to start a few times then I get the flu and get laid out for 3-4 days. I’m sure all the beers had nothing to do with it. I’m about a month behind last years schedule but, I think it’s ok since I’m not doing an Ironman in 2010. I have that itch though. What I’ll probably do is train as if I’m doing Louisville again and see what happens. I am writing the next chapter much like the last one. Long endurance type stuff early in the year to build a big base then cruise through the rest. I am really hoping to swim a relay across Tampa Bay in April. However, it makes for a tough early season, having a 12 mile swim, a marathon, then a 7.5 mile swim all within 5 weeks could be pretty taxing. On the body and the checkbook. All in all, I’m ready now. I had some time to enjoy all sorts of fall brews and lots of buffalo wings. I ‘ve got an extra 13 lbs on me right now. Good news is that last year at this time I weighed 179, I’, only 169 this year. Won’t take long to cut it. The last tattoo session is Thursday, then 6 days later I’ll be swimming again. It’s going to be tough to bump up to 35k a week…in 3 days a week. Good thing my wife knows how to release a rotator cuff. I have some other plans for next season too. I’ll keep those to myself.
