back into it

oh, hello there.  I'm still here.

after running the haunted half a couple weeks ago, I kind of fell off the bandwagon.  but november is here and I have new resolve.

I have a month and a half to get my base ready to start my training for st george 70.3

I still wonder why I signed up for this thing.  it's hard training for something, especially a race such as a half ironman, with a little nursling baby still needing you throughout the night, etc.  so hopefully I can make it through my training sane and in one piece.

fortunately, I found out that one of the county rec facilities have drop-in childcare.  and a pool.  this is going to save my life.  at least I won't have to wake up ridiculously early to go swim.  and if I need to, I can get my run in on the tready.  I'm still going to try and get up early to get my spinning in on the trainer (or go to a spin class.)  unless there is some way to finagle spinning during nap time??  hmmm...

so today I dropped the kids off in the daycare and hit up the pool.  I swam for about 40 minutes with no real workout in mind.  I need to get some real swim workouts together if I'm going to do this on my own, sans masters.  I had to keep switching lanes due to swim lessons and crazy geriatrics.  it was a quite interesting swim workout.
