Called Out

Yeah, I know. It's been like a million years since I've posted. For those that are still checking in, I apologize. There are a million excuses, none of which matter a hill of beans when it comes down to it. Thanks to Crash for calling me out and getting my butt in gear.
I have recognized one thing about blogging, especially Tri-blogging. It's a bit like an accountability group. I don't feel like I've been on top of my game as of late as it seems all of my local tri friends have settled in for the winter. I take that back. My good friend Daniel is keeping it strong. Again my apologies. So until the local yocals get their act together, I'm posting my victories and defeats in training on line for the world (all 4 of you) to see.
So what the heck has been going on eh? Work fo sho! Work has been sucking every bit of life out of me during the day. Luckily, I've been doing my workouts before work. My mornings start at 5:30 am for a trip over to the Y for a little pre-work exercise. I've drastically cut down the miles I'm running during the week to give my body some rest for my long run on the weekends. I'm currently 19 days out from my first Marathon on Feb 10th. I have just two long runs left then it's race time! I'm looking forward to it, but a little nervous at the same time. My original pace goal is out the window. It's going to be a bit slower I fear, but no worries. I'm in it for the experience.
During these last couple of weeks, I'm really starting to watch my nutrition a bit more and concentrate on being at race weight come Feb 10th. I have a little work today as the holidays were definitely celebrated here in B'ham.
More posts to come. I promise. Take care.

Glad to see you are still alive and kicking. Don't stress too much about that original 'goal' time. With consistent training you will get there...enjoy (as much as you can for a marathon!)and see what the experience brings you.

Glad to see you are back.
