Templates

I hate that I can't seem to figure out how to change the look of this blog. I've looked for a new template so the blog will seem more unique but haven't had much luck or time. Oh well, I'll try when I can find some time.

It's been a week since I started officially training for the Ironman. Well, only 7 days since I started swimming. It was extra hard waking up this morning for some reason. I slept like a rock. Once I hit the water I was awake. I tried some additional technique in the pool to attempt to hone my stroke. I was able to settle in to a 2:30 pace so not bad. I also completed 700 yards my farthest so far.

The countdown is on for my road trip up to Canada. It's gonna be quite exciting seeing all the athletes knowing that in a year I'll be one of those athletes.

I received my 2 books from Amazon.com about the triathlon training. It was funny because Amazon.com said they shipped yesterday and that I wouldn't receive them til mid next week. It's cool that they are here as I'll have some free time this weekend between volunteering on Sunday and riding on Saturday to read. I won't be bored at least.

Today's bike ride was pretty tough. My leg muscles felt tired. I'm guessing it's the amount of training I've been doing. My body will get a couple of days off this Sunday and Monday so it will hopefully prepare me for a nice strong week.

In only 2 weeks, Elena will be attending kindergarten and I won't be having to take her to day care in the morning. My complete schedule will change. It'll be weird not having to leave work by 6pm to pick her up. I'll be able to sleep in if I desire because I can swim, shower and immediately head to work. It's gonna take some adjustment from me and of course Elena will have to adjust to the change as well.
