The STATUS, in no order:
So yeah, began training again. Joined 24 hr fitness, cause portland winters suck. Did a 6 mile "long" run today and then took a nap. wow! took it out of me.
Been working on the bike technology and equipment choice over the last month. Will have a pretty sick ride when all is said and done. Going to test it out at a time trial at the end of this month.
5k race next weekend. we'll see how that goes. there's very little speedwork under my legs at this time. Although I was on the treadmill last week doing speedwork, got the treadmill up to its max speed "8.6" and then it just broke. There was a midget running next to me (seriously), and the guy said, "dude you fucked it up."
So yeah, getting back into the mode is nice.
Oh yeah and first paddle since Eppies, occurred last week, then I did another. Im surprised I actually didnt lose that much technique. FWIW. Found a local kayak team that I'll start training with when I get some more boat fitness in me. Got the races planned out too.
Thats the word. The build up has started, the train is rolling, and will be for the next 6 months, one week at a time though.
