WHERE HAS HE BEEN?

Ok, I did not fall off the planet, I wasn't in jail, I was not abducted by aliens for anal probing (thank god!, and I did not join the Hare-Krishnas. I am still training, I am still here! So where have I been? At work! Last two weeks: 36 & 1/2 hours overtime and this week alone will be 26 hours of overtime. Big last minute project that should have taken 3 months, was handed to me with a three week deadline(I just love high level senior executives who are clueless, yet have power to create worthless projects on a whim!).

I missed a couple workouts which was not good (in addition life got in the way of a couple). But overall I am making progress. I have looked at July's training schedule that Pete has given me and HOLY CRAP!. I can hardy wait to see what happens August through October! Ok, maybe I can wait!

Great news that Andy is going to get to race Ironman Arizona!

And for a little Friday humor:
Are women born this way?


Have a great weekend!!!!!

Glad to hear you're still on the planet -- and still keeping up your training in spite of life's complications.

Keep on plugging and avoid temptations (unless it is a temptation to go run 3 miles)

What way? Bald, beautiful, constrained by carseats??? ;-)

yes, yes, no.

I trust that you will keep training and fighting the good fight. Chances are if you writing less it likely means that you are talking with real and supportive people and that is good. I hope I'm right about this.

Hey Duane,

Great to hear you are doing well. We are all pulling for you so thanks for checking in and letting us know how it is going. I'm enjoying getting to know Staci on Facebook.

Can't wait to meet you both in AZ.

Later,
Melissa

Have I told you lately how proud I am of you?? You so rock... you are my inspiration in sooo many ways... I am however very glad about you not being abducted and probed... that would definitely make training difficult.. You are my "Ironman" and I sooo cant wait for Az..

MUAH!!
