Hi there!
I've been out of the loop for so long now--I've checked in a little here and there, thought about it tonight, and lo and behold had a little "bump" from you! Thanks!!!
Things have been insanely busy here (I can't believe summer is almost over!) and that, combined with some personal issues, kind of dampened my enthusiasm for staying as involved here as I was. I did catch up a little on the last couple pages of your log and it looks like things are going great! It was cool to read that you are going to be using "Power Training"! I LOVE that book and have enjoyed it and the way it breaks down the workouts immensely, I think you will dig it for sure!!
I'm still kicking my butt on a regular basis.
Have kept up with my BodPod BF% testing, and it has happily stayed moving in the right downward direction! LOL
Yep, that triathalon was yesterday actually! I had followed a strict training regimen for the last 9 weeks and felt as prepared as I possibly could, but Man was it hard! I just don't think anything can prepare you as much for the "real deal" than just doing it, and it was an awesome and humbling experience. I had hoped to finish in under 2 hours, but ended up exceeding that time frame by about 7 minutes.
Still, as I sit here today in horrific pain (pretty much in EVERY muscle!!), it feels so cool to think that I actually did it--regardless if it was record-setting time or not! I'm not in a huge rush to sign up for another one, but a friend of mine and I are strongly considering doing a couple half-marathons in the Spring, so who knows!??
Well, just wanted to say Hi and keep up your hard work! Glad to see that things are good in your life! I'll try not to stay away for so dang long!!!!!
