Its a new week!

I have come to the conclusion that I am a much better runner than blogger. I do enjoy both and am going to try to keep up the blog. I'm not really sure if anyone reads it but hey Farica and Andy do so I keep on typing.

I am over 100 miles for the year and after not running for 3 weeks after Disney I am very happy with the Milage. I feel like a real runner finally. I have improved my pace and now am at an 11 minute mile. I started at 13:00 in Aug 2010 and have not had speed work in my training. This year I have added (or am following) my weekly Tempo runs and next month will add track workouts. My goal is to reach a 10 minute mile and hope to have that down by Disney 2013.

The Plant strong eating is going well but last week was a difficult week and was not a healthy week. I noticed an immediate difference and how I felt, how I slept, and my attitude. just a few bad choices while at work and at the EMS conference has really reinforced my committment to being Plant Strong.

I look at my Race calander and Amazed I can actually do all this. I am so excited to my first race in Next week in DC. San Diego is coming up but my fundraising has hit a wall and might not be able to make that trip. It hurts not to be able to accomplish a goal but after raising $10,000 dollars last year and so much support it is understandable. Very few people can do 4 events back to back.

On a good note, Farica and I have come to an agreement and I will be a proud new owner of a Trex Road Bike and now the door to the Tri World is Open. Now it is all up to me  and it's time to get in the water.
