Month 2

Nations 83 days,
Maraine Corps 131 days

Today is the start of month #2, Hard to believe that just a couple weeks ago I was a small 256 miles for the year and at the begining of this week I am at 330 miles. Way off from where I wanted to be but I have been injury free since I started, not even a blister and I am rested. This week I have 9 training hours planned. 4 runs with a long of 12 miles, 2 bike rides with a long of about 25 miles and 2 swims for a total of 2.7 miles.

The next 3 weeks will again be building phases with the 4th week a rest of recovery. I am excited that Nations is only 83 days away. I am doing Nations as a fundraiser for Team in Training and very nervous about my fundraining. I am off to a slow start again and the possibility is real I might not make my minimum. I have been so successful in the past and my friends and family have been so generous with their donations. Its hard to think I might not do this but understand that times are tough and I am no stranger to the financial tightning of the belt we all are facing.

I am filled with with excitment and new found passion for swimming and cycling and wether it be nations or another event I am super psyched to join the multisport world. 2013 will be filled with lots of great events, a 70.3 or two and maybe even the ultimate goal of 140.6

I am well on my way, my foundation is being built and great things are going to happen.
