On the comeback trail

Hi Everyone - after two weeks of structured training I am still alive and kicking. I am struggling a little with time mgt issues but getting better every day. I have no specific goals in mind right now but I am batting around a few races

outerbanks marathon
space coast marathon
croom trail 50k
health first tri
gasparilla

right now i am working on structure again and getting back into a solid routine. I have been in the pool 4 times (up to 2300 yards), run 6 (ran 9 this weekend), mountain biked 5, and tri biked 2 time. I did get a solid 105 minute ride this past weekend in the hills of clermont.

I also had a real fun run this weekend - ran 4.5 miles out on the trail then ran back 5 minutes faster. It was the first time I treated my body to a hard workout since the Keys race.

I need to get back in the gym and do some lifting and I need to work on some core but it is all about baby steps at this point in time.

One thing I will definitely do before April 2010 is qualify for Boston - that sounds like a good vacation destination in 2010 for me. Just need to pick the right race and knock a good time.

I will begin to keep you updated a couple times a week so you can follow along with the challenges and successes of coming back after life kicks you in the teeth
