Recovery... Almost over....

So its exactly 2 weeks from the day of Kona. Everything is going well and I'm almost done w/ my 2 week recovery. (I have to admit... I did swim 2000 yesterday between classes!)

I just wanted to give a quick update about whats going on and whats been going on...

I'm currently in the process of renovating the website. I bought a new Mac when I got back from Hawaii and it has a phenominal tool for creating websites. Hopefully I'll have that up in a few weeks so I can get some feedback there!

I'm planning on taking it "fairly easy" the next few months. Just do some running races, few half marathons, and one other un-mentionable as of right now... :)

I've really made some big adjustments to next years racing schedule. I've realized that I can't be doing some races for "fun" if my goal is Kona. I can't lie, I want Kona again. Heck, I want a top 5 AG group finish to be honest. So next year the focus is getting to IMLP strong, qualifying, then going back to Kona to get that top 5 AG.

I'll be updating again soon on the status of the new website. It looks good so far. I'll also be posting a Kona YouTube video i put together as well. Hope everyone is doing well!

Also, be sure to check out my training log as I update it everyday!

Kona Departure < 5 days away...

Stress? What stress??

Well, I'm finally done with just about everything that is due before I leave! I was up till 4am this yesterday morning writing a paper for a group debate that we finished up yesterday. Talk about stressed and running on ZERO sleep. Not good this close to Kona. So I'm happy I'm done with that. Class this Friday and Monday then I'm off! Friday should be a breeze and Monday will basically not exist cause mentally i'll be long gone...

I've had really good workouts so far this week. My swims have been right on, my cycling Tuesday was great, and well.. I haven't run yet. Hopefully today I can get a 1.5hr ride in w/ a 30min run and do my swim tonight.

I've been playing around on Picnik.com as usual... Heres a fun photo of some good times! Enjoy!

Ironman World Championships = 9 DAYS.
