The fund raising effort has started!

I have officially started my fund raising effort for the Boys and Girls club of North Portland. Visit the "Donate" page of my Blog for more info.

Week End Review 6/6/10

Solid week of training. It ended with a 3 hour brick on Thursday and a 2 hour run Friday morning. It is always tough to get up the morning after a brick and go out for a run without breakfast. The good thing was it was my first run on a sunny day in months. The weather has been so bad the last few months in Portland. Coming up the bricks get longer each week and the training hours increase.

Open Water Swim

Got my butt up this morning at 4:50 AM and met some fellow Ironman athletes for an early morning swim around Lake Oswego. It was actually nice to get in the water and work on sighting and not worry about flip-turns. Had to be at work by 7:30 so no time to hang-out after the swim. At the station, we went to the gym and I got another hour in on the treadmill. Go day for work-outs. Now time to study!

June 2, 2010

It's 8:37 AM and my body is telling me to drink coffee and have breakfast but I'm fasting waiting for my daughter to wake up so I can go get some blood work done. In the meantime I am sipping on some green tea trying to curb the desire to tear into the ice cream!

On the books today for my workouts are a two hour bike and a swim. The last couple of weeks of workouts are going better. We've been finishing up a house remodel after the water problem and life is slowly getting back to normal. By the end of June things should be stabilized.
