Got up at 5:45 this morning and hit the road for an hour and 30 mins on the bike, I was suppose to do 2 ½ hours but I started late and had to be in work at 8:30.

This time I headed towards Williston, not a bad ride at all once you get pass I-75 the traffic lets up and you have a very nice breakdown lane to ride in. Lots of cows and even heard a rooster going off as I rode through an area.

Getting ready to head out to do a 40 min run then going to an eighties party tonight! Women in really sexy clothes is a good thing!!

Tomorrow I have a 2hr and 20 min run, with a swim workout and a gym workout. Busy day tomorrow, as Mike M. will be coming over also for supper and taxes. Hope to get in a few hours of PS2 action also.

Really starting to warm up here in Florida, almost time to start heading to the springs for some free diving fun!

Out of here for now!

I am getting ready for work after a 60 min. run this morning. The Florida weather has kicked in and the humidity is climbing. Considering I am the sweat king, this makes me look like I am swimming while running.

I also was able to get a 55 min run in last night before I hit the sack. It did not seem as humid last night although I still managed to create copious amounts of sweat.

Tonight all I have to do is hit the pool!

Off to work and to drop my bike off at the shop.

Yesterday was a busy day.

First thing was to drop wife off at the University
Second was get everything ready for the round trip to all the stores in the district.
Third, do the trip.
Fourth, come home and get some training in!

How it went:

The wife at school went fine.
The getting ready was tedious at best hehe.
Had to find the Florida Atlas that was hiding somewhere in the apartment and print out all the routes in map quest to go from store to store. Make sure I had copies of the Ironman info and then hit the road.

I hit the first store in Palatka just before 10am.

I got home after the last stop in Chiefland at 6:50pm.

Not bad considering I had to go from Gainesville to Palatka to Palatka (two stores) to Ocala to Belleview to Leesburg to Inverness then finally back up to Chiefland.

I saw more of Florida then I really cared to in a day! Lol

All the people at the different stores were real supportive of my goals for the Florida Ironman. I really appreciate all the support they are giving!

After I got home I ate some supper then scooted over to the O’Donnell center for a swim. I managed to get in a good 1200yd workout in 40 mins. My shoulder blades are feeling it today let me tell you.

I skipped the bike and run last night and did the bike this morning instead. I am getting ready to hit the road for a 50 min run and then the gym for a 60 min. workout.

I have really focused on getting out of the store by 8 o’clock, it is hard because there always is something to do but then again it will be there tomorrow also.

Tomorrow I have an one hour run, will try to do that in the morning if I can get my ass out of bed, and then a swim tomorrow night after work. Mike will be in tomorrow so it should not be a problem.

The bike will be in the shop tomorrow, I hit a bump or something and the rear wheel is unbalanced. It wobbles like crazy; hope they can just tighten up the spokes to true it up.

Out here have a good one!

Finally got to hit the pool tonight, I did a short workout as I was extremely tired for some reason tonight. It could have been the double header yesterday 4hrs of total workouts.

I may of finally got some aerobars, my friend Jed is unhappy with my choice but I have a budget to live with and I can’t justify spending an extra 75-90 more for a different set oh well he’ll live and I may regret getting them after I try them out.

As soon as I am done this it is off to bed and then up in the morning for a swim and then the gym.

The rest of the day will be spent driving around to the other stores in my district collecting money!!

Night!!

Monday morning, yesterday was a good workout day, I did the 2hr bike ride in the morning then a 2hr run in the afternoon. I was pretty tired after the run.

The bike ride had me all the way down into Marion County. I went by a group of 5-6 women on 441. They were cruising right along, I was wondering if they were on a university team or not.

While going through Micanopy I saw two guys on their bikes also, that’s the most people I have seen on bikes while I was on the road so far.

Still need to get some aerobars so I can start training in the aero position that should be a blast on the rollers!

My friend Jed in Clermont is finally getting his running legs back which I am glad to hear. He was having such a hard time I am happy he is doing better.

Tomorrow I head out to all the stores in the area to collect some money for the Florida Ironman.

Tonight I get to hit the pool and do a weight workout finally! Spring break is over so all the facilities are open again. I really need to put some time in the pool, especially since it is my weakest sport. I can improve my sprint and overall time with an improvement in my swim!

Figure that last year my swims were up to 11 mins for the ¼ mile! I can knock off 2-4 mins and get that down to a more reasonable time, which will help greatly.

Right now I can do 100yds in 2 mins 10 secs, which is slow according to Jed. So I have lots of room for improvement in this sport.

Off to work!

Just got out of the shower after a 2hr bike ride. What a nice ride! I really do love these morning rides but hate getting up to do them lol.

I didn’t get a chance to do the ride yesterday, so I put it off till today. Glad I did I was so tired yesterday and my allergies are kicking in.

Now I am prepared and on full medication so that shouldn’t happen again!

I will do my run this afternoon before supper and have a relaxing evening at home or at the movies (Willard!)

That is all for now off to the store.
