You know there are 3 Ladies living in your house when the self in your shower looks like this:).
I do not really mind it i just noticed it last night after my trainer session on the bike. I normally shower at the YMCA so i have not used the home shower for a few days.
There used to be 5 women and me in the house. I guess it is payback for growing up with my Brother, Dad and my poor Mum!

Training going good. Spent 1.5hrs on the trainer last night in my bedroom. It was kind of funny the things you see sitting semi still in my house. Over that 1.5 hrs i think my two little girls danced, cried, played with the dog, brought up hand made notes and letters for me to read, begged that i would bake them cookies and make hot chocolate after i was done. My wife talked on the phone at the same time as getting a new high score on Bejeweled 2. The things that happen in my house in a 1.5 hour period are amazing.

This morning i ran a quick 3.2 miles on the treadmill and completed 60 Laps of the pool.

The temperature came up to 25F!! woo Ho it feels like a heat wave and i might even walk for lunch!

Ahhhh Back to work.

This picture has me missing my moutain bike is this super cold snowy weather.

Well the weekend is over and it was another crazy one. I did not workout on Saturaday as planned but spent some time with the family. I can not say it was quailty time but it was time. I need to work on the quality part :).

Had some major FOMO (fear of missing out) as i could not make it to the Disney Marathon i was entered in to in Disney.

Managed to get the podcast out with minor difficulties.

Got my office a little more organized this morning so i can be more productive with work things. I am on a mission to get my bike ride in today. Not sure if it is going to be at home on the trainer or at the YMCA in a spin class.

I was listerning to BBC Radio 1 this morning and they talked about exersise program on VINAL RECORDS!!! OMG! This was in a time before DVD's before VHS. You could buy a program to workout to on Record! I remember my Mum had one of these. She had a Jane Fonda workout record she used to do.

How crazy is that. You sure could not do any jumping jacks as the record would skip!

Just getting it done

Just getting it done.

Some days your workouts make you feel like a super hero, energized, healthy, ready to rock the day.

Then some days it is JUST about getting it done. Today it was about just getting it done

.I have been thinking alot about my perception vs reality. I have a perception of who i think i am then there is the cold hard reality. There seems to be a distance between the two. My buddy Bret got me thinking about this.

On a different note i used my HRM for swiming today. Kinda cool. I could hear it beeping underwater when i was below my low heart rate point. I showered good but i still smell like pool a bit.

Well i think my Podcast is uploading again finally. I went through everything i could do to get it back online and the good folks at Podbean got me going again.

A little sad this weekend because i am meant to be running the Disney Marathon in Orlando. I booked it when i lived in Florida but since then i lost my job down there and moved back to my old job in Wisconsin.

There is not really a way for me to fly down there this weekend and get back in time for work on Monday. Ahhhh well.

I feel like i am letting myself down a bit and my listerners too. The only way for me to go would be to fly out Sat morning or Friday night by myself, run Sunday and then fly home Sunday night for work on Monday eeeeeek!

I do not know anyone else that is doing it so i would be totaly alone and i am not sure how my legs would feel afterwards getting back on a plane.

Well if anyone wants my entry that i just lost $150 on let me know:)

Lazy Boy today :)!

Missed this mornings workout due to not getting out of bed. So i talked myself into going to the YMCA in the evening as my wife was going to out tonight anyway.

So i took the girls and got on the treadmill. There were LOTS of new people there, but thats ok. Its good to see people trying to get into a habit of it.Loving my new Heart Rate Monitor, my 'feelings' of exhaustions were not truly real and i worked through them.

I think it could be time to clean my locker already.

Rest Day and back to the bike

Well yesterday i forced myself to rest for the whole day (apart from work of course). My body felt pretty banged up. I was dying to get on the trainer when i got home from work but i forced myself not to.

THis morning i made it to the YMCA for the spin class. But i needed a long ride. THe class starts at 5.30 and goes for an hour. I managed to get on a bike by 5.05am and stayed there until 6.40 making sure i kept my heart rate above 120 the whole time.

My new POlar R100 is working out great!

I remember a year HATING heart rate training but now i am getting into it. It is set so it beeps at below 120bpm and i HATE hearing those beeps so it kept me going.

MY new running shoes are working great and my new Nathans shoe pod for my nike plus system is working awesome.

I STILL can not get my podcast to upload:( Pod bean sent me a few things to try but i dont hold out much hope.

Back to Blog

Finally managed to lose some weight again.
I made allot of adjustments to my diet and exercise program and i finally dropped 4 pounds..woo hoo.

I am having trouble uploading my Podcast. I don't know if it is my computer or my Pod bean account. I will keep working on it.

I need to update more oftern here this year. We will see how it goes.

Oh Half Iron Man training offically starts on Jan 30th 2010. But i am doing serious base training untill then.
