Long time - no see!
Busy, busy, busy! But things are well. I am about 4 month out from Ironman Coeur d'Alene and panicking a bit. But Julia (my coach) and Calyx (my mind coach) are keeping me on track.
From May, when I started with Julia as my coach, I logged about 340 hours through December 31st. This year is off to a great start with
65+ hours already. Tomorrow I have a 10 mile run/walk. Last week I swam 10,700 yds.
My weight is coming off slowly, not as fast as I'd like, but I will be under 300 soon, and I believe I will be about 250 for the race. Would like to be 230-240, we will see.
Todays workout was a one hour bike: main set gearing down every 3 min keeping cadence the same for 30 min. My thighs were toast, then sped over to the gym for a half hour on the treadmill which included 25 minutes at 6% with 4 short runs thrown in. Designed by the Mistress of Pain (Julia!) Glad that's over!
On another note, my gym's pool will not open back up till the 22nd (they are hoping). So like last week, it's back to the other gym with less lanes, which means getting up earlier than usual, ugh.
Attached is a pic of me at IM AZ in 2008 and October 2009 (and how I looked until last May, 2010). Then two pics that are recent, progress made one day st a time!
