Another bike and weights workout today, as I will try to give the legs a rest before a long run tomorrow. Have to move up my long run a day since saturday is a travel day back to New Orleans from Key West.

1st leg workout in many months...Ouch!

Doing weights (legs) and a stationary ride today. The pool has been closed for the past 3-4 days since the temp is in the 50s. Very cool temp for Key West, but can't complain as it is January and I am not further north....temp in Nawlins was 39 yesterday, I will gladly take the 50s.

Had to rearrange my race schedule as my Navy travel sked has changed a bit. Lost my June HIM, but replaced it with a marathon and another OLY. Added a HIM in September prior to my IM in November.

Ironman Florida in...T - 293 days...?? hours....

Taking another day off to try to get over the cold. Not to mention that I tried Trixie's method of drowning it out last night. Actually may have worked. Nothing like a few hours of drinking (left the bar at 4 am) to get you back to norm. Also, had a bit of star-gazing as I ran into Paige Davis from the Trading Spaces show! Amazing who you can meet as you are bellied up to a bar.

Still fighting the head cold, so I was unable to swim yesterday. Not to worry to much, I wouldn't have been able to swim yesterday anyway as we had bad thunderstorms all afternoon. Probably will take today off again to try to finally kick this cold. Makes for a fun Saturday at work!
