Thanks Chicograds and Baowolf! I was been ending my swim sessions with a little pool running and I think that has helped. I have been run/walking a couple of times a week as well - like really more like walk/running with 2-3 minutes walking, 1 minute running. Today was the first time I actually did a little more running than walking! I will probably keep this up until my "real" training plan starts in a few weeks. So far, the foot has felt pretty good with only the occasional ache.

Is it too late to start training for the Texas 70.3 I have been doing half marathons and smaller triathalons? Itching to sign up for a half ironman just not sure if it is too late

Coming to this IMTX from Northern Utah and had planned on using Tribike Tansport to get my bike there. Unfortunately, they are only offering their Pack and Ship option from here. It is $400 and I would still be responsible for getting the bike disassembled and packed, then put back together once it came back to me. They would handle everything in between. I am lucky to be able to change a tire, so the aspect of taking it apart/putting it back together and getting it packed is somewhat daunting. I would have to pay my LBS $100 each way (to pack if for me then put it back together). That means $600 to get my bike to Houston. OUCH! What would you guys do in this situation? Not sure what my best options are. It might be worth the $$ not to have to worry about it down there, but if I take it on the plane with me, I then have to get it back together down there, and stress about it. Ideas please! Is it worth it to have TBT do it to avoid the hassle of carrying it with me on the plane and then taking it apart and putting it back together myself?

Originally posted by g_shotts December's over......are you where you were hoping to be? What are you plans for January? My December turned out okay, but I have not been to the pool in months and I'd like to be more consistent with the number of days I'm running every week. It's easy for me to blow things off when the weather is harsh. Swim: 0 Bike: 24h 35m 59s - 477.35 Mi Run: 17h 44m 03s - 118.91 Mi My goals for January are to start back to the pool at least once a week and consistently run 6 days a week. Anyone else want to go on record?

What are your long runs looking like right now (i.e. how much distance). I'm coming back from an injury, so I am only at 5-6 miles. My official training schedule started this week and saw that the first two long runs are 11 and 13 miles. Yikes!!!
