Moving forward

It's been interesting since Emma's Run.
The plan was to take it easy this first summer since I'm not sure how the heat will affect me. So I've been hitting the gym a little in the morning (can't you tell :-) and taking the random run or swim every once in a while.
While it's been nice not to HAVE to run, I've missed the regular training. I'm also way jealous of watching Paige do so well with her running and preparation for the Provo River 1/2 marathon. So for the past couple of days I've been planning my return to racing (just call me Brett Favre).

I'm going to start with the Holiday Classic Sprint Tri. in Anthem on Dec. 5th. This will be my first tri. and while I'm excited to be trying something new, I'm also a bit nervous for the parts I have no experience with.

Then I'm going to do the Valley of the Sun half-marathon in Mesa in early March. Looks like a good race and more importantly the timing works out great to give me a good three months to train after the sprint tri.

So, bottom line is that I'm still going to take it easy until about September when I get serious about the tri. If anybody is interested in joining me for any of these events let me know. I would love to have a familiar face with me.
