After nearly 2 months of not blogging it is finally time to get back at it. This is not going to be a world changing post or anything so don't get your hopes up. But it will (hopefully) be a good start at getting going again.
So much has happened the the last 2 months so I can't even begin to go through it all now, but suffice it to say I have been busy. Between a trip to Colorado, being an usher in my good friend Ryan's wedding, helping Laura with her weddings, work, and training I have not had much free time to blog.
At present Laura and I are less than 5 weeks away from the Chisago Lakes Half Ironman on July 24. Our training is currently in the "build" phase so we are packing on miles and doing speedwork to make us faster. I have not been running much the last 3 weeks or so due to a groin injury. I was able to run a 10k at the Capital View Olympic Triathlon 2 weekends ago (race report to follow) and for 20 minutes on Sunday for a brick. I was definitely taking it easy and it helped that both times I was warmed up from a bike ride before. It is really frustrating to not be running, but it is probably the best thing to be doing along with icing at this point. I have never had an injury like this during training where I am almost entirely unable to do one of the three tri disciplines. Hopefully it will teach me something and make me faster in the water and on the bike.
One big gripe. THE RAIN! Is it ever going to be consistently nice or will Madison soon be the Midwestern Seattle? Seriously, stop raining mother nature I have had enough.
Happy Wednesday! It's almost Friday! Until next time...
One quick plug... if you are in Madison this weekend stop by Endurance House for a sweet sale on running, swimming, biking, and tri gear. They have a lot of great stuff. Laura and I will be buying new bike helmets for each other as anniversary gifts. How romantic right?
