Another week...

Here we are, the last week of January, 2008. Another week gone by. More training done. A couple of swims, spin class and a moderate run. Three weeks from the Austin half. I would have never thought I would run 13 miles. 13 miles.....it really doesn't sound that far....how stupid is that statement....it's 13 miles...

2008 is off and running

2007 was my first season of triathlon and it was a partial season. A couple of sprints and a lot of training. This year is an adventure into new territory....including a half marathon. Last Saturday was The River Road Run. Along the river valley of the Guadalupe River with a start temp about 34 degrees...it was cold. It is the first time I have ever run 12 miles, a year ago it was hard to drive 12 miles. Well, I was treating it as a training run for the Austin Half Marathon but couldn't think about that at the time....My season is off and running.
