Last November, at the Florida Ironman, I qualified for the World Championships.
Reading the latest Runnersworld, I stumbed on an article that suggested using a blog as a motivator. Believe me, I need as much motivation as I can find.
So this blog will be about my Hawaii Ironman journey - tomorrow I start training.
My training this year has been sketchy at best. In February we had a pipe burst on the second floor of our home leaving 6 inches of water in the basement. I've spent the better part of the last 2 months attempting to get my house back in order.
My current conditioning isn't too bad. I ran a hilly 1:22:45 half marathon last month, but have done little biking or swimming this year.
We returned home on Friday after looking at colleges (for my younger daughter Rachel) on the West Coast. During the trip, I got up early most days to scout the campus with a 6 mile run. Later, after showers and breakfast, we would tour the campus together.
I came home from the trip with a nasty cold. Not the best way to start Ironman Training, so I'm going to take it easy today, lift some weights, take a walk with my older daughter visiting from College and kick things off tomorrow.
