After a horrible winter training (or lack there of) and then being off the past 4 weeks from almost any training due to my recent diagnosis of a rare anti-inflamitory disease...I'M BACK! I have new goal races, a new schedule, and just a whole new outlook. I rarely get upset if I have to drop out of a race because of illness or injury, and for the past year all 4 races I missed or dropped from out of 16 in the 2009/early 2010 season were due to injury, and one from plastic surgery recovery, but that was a one time thing.
Here I now sit writing this after a 45 minute jog on the treadmill, followed by sit-ups and a fast 15 minute strength circuit. I am recommitting to posting a weekly recap and my workouts for that upcoming week on Mondays. Here is what I have for the rest of this week:
Thursday: 45 minutes run (got that out of the way!)
Friday: 60 minute cycling
Saturday: Santa Anita Derby Day 5k (and possibly an additional 6 miles home for a total of 9.1)
Sunday: Open water swim with Valerie and other PTC memebers (I'm trying to be more active in the club)
The upcoming races I have are as follows:
April 18th: LA Tri Championship #1
May 2nd: OC Half Marathon
May 16th: LA Tri Championship #2
June 13th: LA Tri Championship #3
July 25th: SF Half Marathon (this will complete my California Dreamin' Series)
Sept 5th: Disneyland Half Marathon
Sept 19th: Long Beach Tri
October 10th: Magic Mountain Man Half Tri
October 17th: LB Half Marathon
October 24th: Inagural LA Rock n Roll Half Marathon
Nov 13th: San Gabriel Valley Turkey Trot 5k (Defending my age group 1st place title)
Nov 14th: Malibu Half Marthon
Dec 12th: LA County Half Marathon
My new goal race is in March 2010, the newly announced San Juan 70.3 Half Ironman in Puerto Rico!
Train Hard! Train Smart!
