You see, wha ha-happen was 'dis....

It's been a while since I've blogged.  I don't have any excuses really although I could claim holidays/vacations/new job.  I've been training but not nearly as hard as I should.  This is all changing since I have 16 weeks until the triathlon.  My running and swimming have both improved but I still seriously detest riding that torture device called a road bike.  I can barely make 7 miles without wanting to ride it into a tree, nevermind the 26 for the triathlon!

I ran outside last night in the cold and once again it's not terrible when it's in the 30's.  I do need to find what Bree calls a "hamster wheel" for those bitter cold days.  No excuses, right?  I plan on joining a gym very soon.  I wanted to join the rec center but it really is just falling apart.  Just a month to month membership until the weather gets better and I can train outside regularly.  I did 2.71 miles last night and felt like I should have done more.  That was done in 00:36:20 which is still pretty good.  That's my farthest training distance to date!

Fortunately, my long distance training buddy Bree found the most awesomest website that's like playing a game for fitness.  Level up, do challenges, quests and even have a comment board similar to a popular social media site.  I LOVE it.  And she thinks she's gonna beat me to 2,000 points next week.  Riiiiiiiiiiiigght!  It's pretty insane that all I want to do is workout and get points.  Great idea.

So I'm back and I have 2 blogs that have to be written.  One about my brother and sister-in-law and how amazingly they are dealing with Aubri's battle against leukemia.  I really admire them for their strength.  The other about Coach Steve, who I once saw as tough and now see as downright dangerous.  Inspirational brother and sister-in-law will take precedent over dangerous coach.

I have spin class tomorrow and hopefully it goes better than the last few!  I must learn to love the bike seat.  Or at least come to a mutual agreement.  Until then, Happy New Year all and be ready for regular blogging!
