Well the brief stint of spring ended this morning. It's getting colder as the day goes on and we're supposed to get hit with some freezing rain late today. Joy! With my body being pudgy, I forced myself out of bed early this morning from my patented run, swim, spin, run workout at the gym.
I did my first sortof swim workout since the Ironman training. I did 100 yard intervals and was having some decent times so that was good. I've swam 3 times since Saturday and will swim on Thursday morning and one weekend day. So at least I'm getting a little consistency in the pool. I think I've figured out the right stroke now I just need to get strong enough to keep pulling big water and fast to maintain my top slow er speed.
Since it was so warm yesterday, I went for a nice 6 mile run and clicked off some decent miles. I'll start doing some hill repeats and little fartleks after the New Year. Maybe I can find that 1:25 half marathon pace after all. The cool thing is I know the Florida course so I can definitely be prepared for the tough mental sections.
Xmas is only 9 days away...and I still haven't taken Elena to Santa yet. I'm such a slacker. So the 6 year Santa Xmas card streak is in jeopardy, but maybe I can pull it out.

we got a pretty good (for us) snow...nothing like the one a couple years ago that had people ping-ponging off other cars, but a few inches and the streets pure ice. No problem, I drove all the way across town, worked all day, drove back no problem, walked over to check the mail...boom. Down I go. Nice huge bruising and swelling on my leg, feels like I pulled something in my back. Yay winter. :-(
