What an awesome week....

Oh man. Everything has been sooo good lately. Training is going really well for my "secret" race. My running is coming along nicely and I'm keeping my cycling/swimming up as well. I've gotten back on my core routine so that's nice. I'm really starting to notice a difference, not only in my core but I'm shaving off those 3-5lbs I gained after Kona....

No big plans as of right now. Running the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving then heading down to Courtneys families house for Thanksgiving day :) I'm just planning on using the Turkey Trot as a speed workout as of right now.

Schools getting more and more crazy but I'm getting so close! One more semester of actual classes then I get to do my residency and I'm done.

I've posted some pretty interesting links recently on my training log... Check it out if you get a chance by clicking the link to the right.

Back to work! Hope everyone is staying safe and training hard!!

New website and long runs....

Ugh. SO... I've been working on the new website thinking that I'd be able to use the domain name that I currently have. (jacobevans.net) Well its looking like I may not be able to do so. Hopefully it'll all work out and all I'll have to do is terminate this domain (after saving everything of course) then buying it again through someone else so that I can use the website i've been designing. If that makes any sense at all.... Ill keep updating as to the status of that endeavor :)

In other news I have a long run tomorrow. Well 14 miles. I'm excited that I can see my running shape coming back around. Its great when I can go out for a fast 8 mile run then not feel it the next day.

Sunday I'm doing the du at Texas Motor Speedway. I'm not training for it nor actually "racing", but I will be participating. It should be fun to be able to go out there and just have fun without worrying about time or place. Ill be riding the new and improved road bike since I've had some serious issues with the tri bike since I've gotten back from Hawaii. Ill feel everyone in on the gritty details of that later...

For now its back to work :)

Hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the "offseason"...
