Great race Tom!

I ran my first stand alone (non pacer) half marathon in a long time.  No race report yet, but I did set a PR:  1:33:55. 

Hello all, I am back after an unexpected absence, but will not be training for a little while still. I had/have meningitis. I posted the short story on my blog. I realize the story is still wordy, but 9 days int he hospital and 3-4 days of pain before that it is going to be a long story.

Hope all of y'all are doing well, take care.

I am SO in touch with that emotion! 

Congrats on the house Adam!  Denver is such a great City! 

My HIM / Du went pretty well considering I had zero taper for the race.  Actual times are posted in my blog.  I will try to get a race report up at some point. 

How about anyone else???  Any races coming up?  How is everyone's training?  Any life news? 

The next 2 weeks are tough for me training wise - lot's of travel.  So, we will see happens.  Then, next Sunday Kapinto and I are doing the White Lake Sprint.  It is going to be great to meet him!  I am doing that race specifically for some 'swimming in traffic' experience.  That is my single biggest issue as I prepare for IM CdA.  If I can get the swim down, everything else will come.

Safe training my friends! 

Well to answer Doug's question on how is training going......It is not, still pretty much on bed rest, I got my Picc line removed yesterday so I am now off of the IV. My back is still hurting, and I get light headed sometimes when I stand up. I am hoping that this weekend I will be able to get out and maybe walk around the block a little. It is very frustrating when you have been running and biking one day and the next a disease knocks you on your a$$ .

It looks like everyone is doing well with training and racing, since I have been home I have been able to keep up with your logs and such and "train" vicariously through them, so run an extra mile for me this week. Take care and stay safe.

Adam, good to see you back at it.  Congrats on the house!  "Ahhhh Denver, the Sunshine State!" 

Sorry to hear about your injury Tom.  What marathon are you running?  Take care of yourself and don't do anything crazy.

How is everyone else doing?  Training well?  Fun races?  PR's???

As for me, I am getting excited for IM CdA.  I've had some good training lately.  I feel pretty ready and the total distance no longer scares me.  However, that assumes I make it out of the water, which is a concern of mine.  Once I am out of the water, it will be a great day!!!! 

Happy training all! 

Hello once again to all of you. Life has been crazy for me this past month. I really needed to prioritize afew things. But, I'm back at it with a vengance. LOL. I've registered for a "sprint" tri June 10th which is just 14 days before my 1st Oly in Philidelphia on the 24th. I'm using the 6/10 race simply for a practice and about 10 of my new found friends form the "TNT" group are also doing it so I guess it's really nothing more than (1) more excuse to do alittle partying. My wife just walked by and commented that I don't "NEED" any more excuses I've got quite enough as it is. LOL!

Steven, I hope your feeling better and getting stronger after your illness.

Doug, you'll do great in the swim. (just pretend your a little fish swimming away from a REALLY BIG FISH!)

Adam - Congrats on your new home.

Keith and Tom, you guys ROCK! I'm still tring to get my run time down close to yours.

As always all of you are a constant source of insparation... Thank you.

PEACE
