I swam for 45 minutes this morning and felt okay. I'm slowly getting back into the form. I think I'll just continue with base until December then start going back to the intervals and such. I felt good towards the end but nowhere as good as felt during my Ironman swim. Like that subtle way of bringing up that I'M AN IRONMAN. I know I'm such a ham but hey what can I say. I think I have a whole year before I'm required to lay off the excessive Ironman talk.
I started running again real easy to get the legs ready for some base miles this winter. I want to try to slowly ramp up my miles to see if I can avoid some injuries next spring. I'm going to train like a maniac for the run portion of the half in Florida. I think my goal is going to be sub 1:25 which will tough on that course because of the narrow trails and overtaking people but I think I can do it.
My fatness has stabilized since all the Doritos in my house are gone and I hate going to the store. I still think about how skinny I was right before the Ironman. Pretty amazing that I was able to get so low. Another thing that I can say because the Ironman is over is that my taper didn't result in me getting sick. Woohoo!! I had an inkling but I was busting Airborne left and right. The vitamins helped get me through.
I had to get my emission check for Maryland. How sad is that. I mean really do we need to check emissions on cars that were made after 1990. Seems like a waste of taxpayer money to just have those places being run 6 days a week checking cars that never fail. I'd be interested to see actual failure rates. Money waste is just so amazing when it comes to government. You would think they're would be at least a few politicians who would be able to save some money from some places here and there. I just never read about any government 'saving' money, do you?
The Dodgers/Phillies baseball series starts today. Go Dodgers!

dude, if I had completed the Ironman, much less in the time you did, I would probably still be wearing the finishers' medal about 22 hours a day. Just sayin'

And yet, many people out there think Obama's plan to make government mandated and directed health care is a good idea. Because, you know, welfare and social security have been such smashing successes. Sadly, to go with his other million and two faults, Johnny boy has started kicking out the same idiotic rhetoric.
Let's see, auto insurance became required and prices skyrocketed while coverage declined. So the best way to improve health care is to follow that model...
c'mon, people, are we really that stupid?
Yeah, I know, rhetorical question.
*sigh* what an election year. How do you choose between horrific and abominable?

ReplyDeleteUm... you deserve it. I don't think I would ever stop saying that. I certainly never stop bringing up that i've run a marathon. Even if I can barely run a mile now :D
