So the birthday went as per the norm:
I had to work. Came home and drank a few beers (only 3 b/c I had to work the day after my bday as well). Blew off working out even though I am getting fatter. The best thing about that day was that I got carded at the liquor store. Carded at 30 oh yea. Next goal get carded at 40. Then after that... live forever.
Well I set a goal at the beginning of this year and now I have to get off my fat lazy ass and do it. My goal complete an iron distance triathlon by the end of 2004. I tried to bump my goal up to 2003 but failed. I did not have enough time to get ready. So today starts my road to the great floridian. I have a year to train so I should be able to make the goal if I can just stay motivated. From now until Jan I am just going to get back into the routine of working 3 different sports. Swim 3X weekly (starting off at 750 yrds in about 15 min ((yea yea I'm slow but that is breast stroke, I supper suck at freestyle)) and working my way back to where I was before I took too long of a break from swimming 1650yrds in about 34 min without too much effort). Bike 2x weekly and keep my distance less than 40 miles per ride. Run 3X to 4X weekly and keep the distance about where I am now 4-5miles, but not to exceed 6 miles.
Then come Jan the build up starts. Hopefully come Oct 2004 I will be ready.
New home projects will take just a little longer to complete and new tattoos will have to wait completely until the race is over.
Anyone wanting to help me stay focused just ask me how my training is going and guilt me into keeping it up.
End boring journal entry now>
