Back in the swimg

Four good.runs this week...two.good swims and even hit.the trainer on.the bike a couple of times.  As the weather starts to warm back up I'm really starting to.get back into the mood to do some training. 

Life is still moving quickly with professional exams for me and grad school coming to graduation fory wife...not to mention looking at schools for our little one.  I have already decided this season is going to be more focus driven on less races with better results.  I have also decided to pursue my training credentials to really make this passion a reality.  I want everyone doing this sport and I think I can make that happen!

Get out and move this weekend... bike...run...swim...walk..hike...whatever your desire, just make it happen!

Pushing through

With the winter weather not leaving I  found myself in a rut as far as training.  I would hit hard for a couple days then slide off again.  I havn't had that steady groove I had last spring going into the beginning of the season.  Yesterday I finally figured out why....

I got a good group workout in yesterday morning and almost slid right through lunch as hitting the treadmill just wasn't what I wanted to do.  Luckily I checked the temperature outside and it was just nice enough to go.out and go for a run.  Hit the old 3.5 mile loop I've always done and used as a basis for speed work.  Luckily my time had only tapered off a few seconds from the last time I had done it which was more likely caused by the terrain.

I have some new goals for this season and hope to really work on those in a serious way. A few less races with more of a focus on fun and doing races because I want to do them...not because they will be good for my season.  This year is all about building, not only myself but others....just wait and see!
