Back in the saddle
It was time to get back into it. After 8 weeks off playing with our new puppy, the burnout from IM last year has worn off and I am ready to get back in there. I've lost a great deal of fitness, but with 6 weeks before the Frederick Half Marathon, I'm going to make one last valiant effort to run the race.

Training while raising a puppy is not easy. Now I have to wake up at 5 every day because I don't have time for evening workouts. I am constantly shuffling and rearranging my schedule, but it is well worth it.

I signed up for a couple of sprint tris so far. One is right up the road. No long distance stuff this year; at least nothing longer than an Olympic tri. I'm thinking about doing Diamond in the Rough again this year. I just can't stay away.

I made a great purchase the other day. I got a forerunner 50 watch to keep my distance, hr, cals, pace, etc all on one watch. I have three watches now, and none of them does everything I want. But I think a mixture of each one will be perfect. I also got a new decal for my bike that I think will be pretty nifty. I'll post a picture after I get it on there.

Well, here's to 6 weeks of injury free training so that I can do the half.
