Tour de Lake Murray

I had a great ride today. It is a catch 22 as usual. I finally get time to get out for a long ride but it is because my family is away for the week. I miss them.I have wanted to ride around Lake Murray for a long time. It was a little over 66 miles and this was my longest ride so far. I really enjoyed it.

I concentrated on keeping my cadence around 90 to 100 and my heart rate between 140 and 150 bpm. This earned me 19.2 mph average which I was happy with. I added my Garmin connect file and a video. I apologize for the format of the video. I am not sure why the first two are not the correct orientation. It is good to be blogging again. Enjoy and Push on!

Lexington Race Against Hunger 2011

First event of 2011 was a lot of fun. I ran this 10K race with my two oldest kids in the double stroller. A lot of hills and even had to stop and tie my shoe. A great time all things considered. I was just glad to get out for the cause. Push on!

Checking In

Yes it's true, I am still around. I actually started my triathlon training yesterday. I am not real sure what I will be doing this year but I will probably only do a few races. I have my sights on Nationals again but the most important thing right now is the family, especially with the new baby.

I have been focusing on the run so far this off season and I am currently participating in the 100/100 challenge on slowtwitch.com. I am finding it to be a great challenge to keep my volume up and I have been working in some speed and hills here and there.

I went to the pool for the first time today since October if you can believe that. It was about like swimming in mud but I logged 750 meters and will be back at it tomorrow. I included a little podcast of when the baby came home. Our lives have really changed since then for the better. It is really great to have a new baby in the house and everyone is enjoying him very much. Push On!

Last Weeks Trainer Ride

A little update on the trainer I filmed last week.

Before and After Run

Just a couple of clips I took before and after my run this morning. This training time is precious before the baby comes. Thanks a ton to Rebecca for the hour she gave me this morning.
