End of September

It’s getting to be time to update this thing again.  

I suppose I should really set myself some goals and aim for a tangible set of results.

My Goals:

Get under a 28:00 5K by spring.
Get a 58:00 10K by summer.
Go sub 3 hours in Olympic distance by next fall.
Half-Ironman in 2007
Be ready and do IM-Moo in 2008.

I’m still looking for a pool to train in. The local HS (Lakeview) has a pool, but reliable sources it that it will be down for repairs until at least the end of the Bush administration. I’ve been riding with my dad once a week, and will start adding more and more. Running is starting to come back, and I have a 5K at the end of next month.

I’m getting psyched to follow Shelly and CLM in Kona next month.  Its helping me get off my keester and to the gym.

Well, the annual ride in the Mackinaw City area was a wild success.

This year, Z-man wanted to ride with dad. Guilluermo wanted to stay back at the hotel to swim and muck about with his cousin. So we rode the short route, with fine weather, hunting dogs being trained and a sighting of a black bear cub. Z is getting better at pedalling up the hills, and really like it when we can catch and pass someone. I hope we can keep this up a for a bit longer, but the kids are getting near that nasty spot where they are too big to drag but not big enough to ride.

Its starting to feel like I'm geting back into training. I still need to find a pool I can use, and the running has to get to be a bit more regular, but I should be ready for short races next season.

More to follow...

Sacre merde!

I forgot I'd set this thing up. I'd better start filling it up...
