In a way I'm happy that there is no chance I will have to sign up for a ironman race this year now that it's in Whistler BC but sad on the other hand that in 2014 I will have to fly to BC ! It's so costly to go there !
But any way on with plan A Syracuse 70.3 then Muskoka 70.3 in September plus maybe a short one between !
Had a great workout at legends tonight but still a little high on the calories with the lack of time this week !

Back in the saddle
So my first serious day back and things went good ! I said no to a box of doughnuts and an extra coffee so a win in my books ! I didn't stray off of any on my plans today so I will put my calories in as 2500 calories for the day!
I also logged a 40 minute trainer ride with a 5 km run/walk !! It was painful but even though it was a routine brick for me it still was the first one back so mentally it was a biggie !
If I didn't finish that one it could have been detrimental to this part of my training !
I think I will scale it back a couple of km and build it from there !
This is defiantly my hardest part of training

Great weekend
So thanks giving is over and I got to see all my family at moms ! It was real nice to have everyone together !
Lots of good food and laughs !!!
So the time has come to start thinking triathlon again, I worked hard this weekend getting my schedules made up and the meal plans done and I just have to do the work now ! Lol that sure sounds familiar ! When I lined up for my 70.3 in September I remember saying to myself on the start line (with a lump in my throat) I've done all the work now it's race time ! I still get shivers down my spine when I say that to myself !
Now is the hard part, staring down the barrel of a long winter of pool swimming and trainer riding !! the most difficult part of triathlon for me !
I'm going to weigh every Monday morning and I'm hoping for a two pound a week drop for the next 30 weeks, but judging from last years failed attempt of weight loss we will see how that goes!
Weight loss is a must for me this winter !

Crazy world
I think that the world is getting crazier every day ! Some of the random things people come up with some times just blows my mind ! The greed and disrespect some people show is out of this world !
I'm trying to brush things off and keep the stress to a minimum but it's hard some days !
I'm still struggling trying to get back on the workout wagon but I'm really glad I've spent the last month reacquainting myself with my life ! I have 37 weeks left before my first half ironman of 2013 so at 2 lbs a week which is totally possible I will be a trim race weight !

Almost time
Well it's almost time to get going ! Things have been pretty slow on the workout front ! Lol
Plans are starting to cook up and I've been in this crazy sport long enough now I should be able to gather up the old mustard an get going ! My weight is up a little but still stable !
My first weight workout is this week and I think I will change things up a little !!
I had my schedule made up for the month of October but I think I will change it around ! I'm anxious to get my training under way but also have to be mentally ready for this !
My first race is in Syracuse NY on June 23 so things need to start happening soon!
