So I've been a really bad blogger

Well folks, I haven't been blogging recently (as if you can't tell). These last three weeks have been a bear. But, things are finally getting back to normal.

I had to travel a bunch for work and just got from Dallas this Friday after having spent the week in San Diego. In between those trips I ran the Richmond Half-Mary (which I'll post about soon).

Today I hit the gym. No begins my winter training which will consist of lifting, swimming, and some spinning, along with a little running. I'm really burned out on running at the moment. I ran two miles todau and I was ready for it to be over. My right heel is hurting a bit too, so that probably adds to me not wanting to run much.

I am excited about weight training again though. Steph and I went to see the new James Bond movie yesterday and I have to say that I'm a little jealous of Daniel Craig.

I have a bit of a man-crush on him (as well as Christian Bale). Anyway, I need to harden up some, so I'm back in the weight room. This winter, however, I'm doing my lifting a little differently. I'm going to be concentrating more on my core muscle groups (abs, back, etc.).

That's about it for now. I'll probably swm tmw (with a short run) and then back in the gym for weights on Wed.

Woot!

Blog apologies

Sorry for taking so long to post. I've been mega-busy and tomorrow I leave for San Diego for 5 days. Unfortunately, it's work related. I got out and ran 3 miles on Monday but that's about it. My heel is hurting me for some reason. It feels like there is no cushion between my heel and the ground. I have no idea what it is. But, I can tell you it hurts like hell.

I still have to decide what I'm doing for the Richmond Half. I haven't completely ruled out running it, but if my heel doesn't get better, I may be on the sidelines cheering for everyone.

Next week I plan on starting my gym routine again. This winter I'll be focusing on my core. Lots of ab and back work. I'm actually kind of excited as I'm a little burned out with just running. I can't wait until I really start my Ironman training. I can't wait to liven things up a bit.

I've mentioned it before, but I'm getting a coach this winter. I guess I could figure out the training myself for the Ironman stuff, but I think I'd like to get a professional opinion on training.

Congrats to David on adding a new runner to his family!!

Woot!
