I am Still Alive

I was told by a friend that he was concerned that I was dead because I have not posted for a while. Hmmm someone does read this. New resolution I promise to update at least twice per week going forward.

Anyway I am still alive. I did injure myself. I have been having problems running because my left hamstring hurts after I run sometimes to the point where I will limp when I walk. I did this a couple of weeks ago and I have started to run a little on the treadmill. The stiffness and hurt is getting better. Other than running the rest of training has gone well. Although I was told this week, that I am breathing to late on my swim stroke. Derek saw me in the pool and told me that I was grabbing my breath too late in my stroke. So I am learning not to swallow so much water. I'll keep you updated.

Thursday we rode the Capitol View loop into a 20+ mile an hour wind....that was fun. Today we rode the Ironman loop 42 miles of pure delight the temperature and the wind or lack of was perfect. Kevin gave me some great tips at the end of the ride too. It seems that I am relying too much on power and not focusing on a consistent rhythm. Anyway I am going to focus for the next week on riding slower but at a more consistent rhythm and riding in a straight line. I'll write about this soon too.

Yep lots to talk about in the next week. Stay tuned!
