Catching up.

I would say that I’m back at full time. I’ve hammer out a nice plan for next season and unfortunately had to change it up a bit. The Tampa Bay Marathon swim raised it’s entry to $1200. Add that to travel and some other expenses we’re looking at $2500 easy for Natalie and I to go down. Sorry, I need more than a T-shirt for that crap. A short e-mail to the RD received no response either. I politely expressed my opinion on the whole thing. Besides all that I went ahead and set some personal goals. Some will be a challenge. That’s fine. I need a challenge to stay focused. I pulled a few other things together and I really think it may all work out. Then today at lunch, on an easy trail run I took a nasty roll on my rt. Foot and followed it again with the very next step. I walked it out for about 5 minutes and started a light jog back. As soon as I hit normal pace I rolled it again. Now it’s a little black and blue but, no worse for wear I think.

I got the Ironman itch again…just my competitive side making decisions for me. I think I’ll train for IM but, just not do one. $550 a pop with little return is a hard one to swallow. I’ll just get out there and support the ones racing next year. Plus, I don’t think I can handle that post race depression again. Geez. Damn near checked into Betty Ford! Still might.

Like I said. Trainings back on track, weights coming back down and the fun is back. So I’m in good shape. I think I’ll still goof off a little. Can’t quit those buffalo wings just yet.
