Finally back running

So for the past two weeks, I've been running 4 times per week. My heel is still a bit sore, but it feels ok. Today was great. I actually kicked it up a notch or two in terms of speed. I think next week, I'm going to hit the swimming pretty hard. I'm in beautiful Monterey, CA for three days next week and what better place is there than to really hit the swimming.

I've booked most of my triathlons for this season. The first on is the CINCI One World Triathlon. I'm doing the Olympic distance, which is 1350m swim/40k bike/10k run. Right after that, I do the Spirit of Morgantown Half Ironman. 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run. then, in September I head to Augusta, GA for the Ironman 70.3 (same distances as the Morgantown race). Steph and I are also running the Pittsburgh half-mary this year in May.

I will probably do the Beach 2 Battleship Half IM as well, but we'll see how my body is feeling.

Ohh, one last thing.....winter training sucks.

Woot!

I love winter training! I hate 80 degree "hot and humid as hell" training.

I did a relay of B2B 1/2 last year....Fun!

Oh, I'm going to CA next week... la di da! haha. No, just kidding! The sub zero windchill has made me a bit bitter today. That pool in the Rec Center is kickin'. Kind of makes me wish I was a strong swimmer, which I'm not.

Welcome back! There a several Beach 2 Battleship bloggers. I may need to drive down to cheer you all on. It is a short drive from my house.

I'm planning on running the One World Tri in Cincinnati too. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.
