Hey all,
Just finishing up work here so I thought I'd say hi since it's wayyyyyy over due. I hope everyone is getting into their winter/spring training programs. Things are going well for me now despite some frustrating swims. Last swim was good finally after a few bad ones. Weird how long course is so much harder then short course. It shouldn't make that much difference, I'm convinced most of it's mental. Lisa has come swimming with me now 3 times I believe?? and she's pumped to come swim today again so that's good. She's improving and enjoying herself while doing it. During the warm weather I've been running mostly outsidee, but now it's cooled off again so back onto the treadmill I go. I can't handle cold weather running like I used to, the cold air does havoc on the immune system and I end up with a nasty cold if I run too hard in too cold weather. I'm back on the program with the Gregster, I think he's upped my program this year. I'm excited for this, I'm up for the challenge. So with the new program and the fact that I'm starting earlier with him, he's forcing me to get used to the trainer. Actually the last couple of rides have felt pretty good. I'm getting used to the seat and I feel good, at least for the first while. My long rides are up to 2 hours, think it's been 2 at that length. We'll see what the year brings, I think I may change my mind on which half IM I do. I wanted to go back to Manitoba and do the half I'd done twice years ago, but now I'm rethinking that. Lisa and I talked and it just doesn't make sense going for just a long weekend when the training camp here is the weekend after. Sooooo much driving to do, I may as well do Calgary 70.3 or the Sylvan Lake half. They are 4 and 5 weeks before IM, I think it'll be Sylvan since that one's 5 weeks I believe. Anyways I'm writing a quick update here just to fill everyone in who still faithfully check my blog. I hardly even read blogs anymore, I'm sorry I used to be pretty good about reading and commenting, so now that I don't I won't expect too many comments on mine. Especially now that it's been what a month since my last post? Oh well take care everyone, I've posted, one long paragraph..... but it's a post. Cheers,
Darryl
