Slacker's back. Hopefully more frequently, but I'm pretty sure I say that everytime so don't hold your breath! Again, I will try harder. :)
So not too much has been new... this one will have to be fairly short since I don't really remember anything- I'll just give a general overview and try to stay more updated as I get things accomplished...
Still teaching the Friday morning classes. Attendance was way down last week so I'm wondering what will happen as it continues to get nicer out. I wouldn't mind dropping the class all together. It is starting to be more work than it's worth, especially since all the fun people are outdoor riders and no longer want to be held captive indoors (as I agree and understand!) Otherwise, I've been swimming on Tuesday nights for class and Thursdays over lunch. Class hasn't been too bad lately. Not a lot of people have been showing up so it's more one on one and for some reason we're working harder- or rather being worked harder. Last week was actually fun! Imagine that... fun and swimming in the same sentence. It's been a long day!
Haven't been running during the week, but have been getting in fairly long runs on Sundays. Well, long for me anyway. I think about 8 for the past two weeks. Mark is nice enough to run with me so it pushes me to go a decent pace but it must be killing him! He's a great sport and it keeps my mind off the length of the session. I'm not yet one you can call a runner. I still need that drive from someone else to hold pace. I'm going to get a couple of runs in during the week though. I'll start trying to balance things out more rather than just biking over lunch. It's just so much more fun! The knee was giving me troubles after waking up Monday morning, but it's feeling better now. I might try a run tomorrow and see how it feels. Nothing hard... just a trial.
So one thing that is fairly solid is that I can get a ride in everyday over lunch. The weather is supposed to be poor for the remainder of this week so I'm using it as a chance to rest and focus on the other disciplines as well as prep for the long Saturday ride that hopefully weather will permit. Gotta love spring... weird temps and crazy wind. That's not too fun since I float all over the road. One word to define that ride Mark finished and I turned back during: terrifying. I'm learning quickly though!
Otherwise, not much else is new. Still not convinced that I am supposed to work... Haven't decided what bike I want to purchase... Know I have a lot of progress I need to make in my climbing... just know i want to be good come Sept 12.
Hope all is well. I'll try to get better about this blogging thing. Glad you are all still dedicated to it! I'm still reading along... just don't have the time to contribute! Late.
