Road to 70.3

I have this blog but I never seem to touch it. I guess taking some time to write down thought may add for good memories years from now when I look back on this. Heck, I love reading Swim Bike Mom and I could of been her. I don't think I have the mental strength to be her yet but I am working on it. It's a beautiful summer day here in the Falls and I am actually looking forward to my hour run which will have to wait until this evening. Cool temperatures are so much more appealing than hot temperatures. So for those of you who didn't know, I (along with a good friend), decided to sign up for a 1/2 Iron this July. It is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, followed by a 13 mile run. I have done all three at this point on their own. Now I get to put them all together. This great feat comes with some great looking spandex and laughs about body parts that chaff. It really is all great fun! This week happens to be an active recovery week so I have three days off from working out. It is something I really needed but I am starting to feel a little lazy. I actually had a nice slow bike ride yesterday with my father and we explored some new bike trails (which you don't venture on much with a road bike). It was nice to have some father daughter time and also establish that my chaffing from a ride/run a few days ago didn't bother me. So this is what's up with me right now. Yep....talking about myself, let me hear about everyone else.
