It would be nice to be back in the South Pacific Island of Roi-Namur right now. The cold weather here in Virginia is getting old, it hasn't been brutal just a consistent 30 degrees. I cannot get the real training of a good long bike ride, I tried the other day and just about froze my face off. In that frozen process, I would just reminisce about having that beach up above all to myself. Those were the days, actually seven years of pretty much a paid vacation.
Well that is no more and I'm starting to get in the grove of training 6 days a week. Like I said, went on 2 bike rides 11 miles each, poor performance average almost 17MPH. Not where I really want to be and the bike trainer doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm gradually starting to increase my running mileage, did a couple of 10k's training runs and for this month will try to get up to 8 miles and then 10 miles for March. For today, my 5k time was 24:14 and I felt pretty good and could have really gotten the time down into the 23's if I wanted. That Under Amour shirt really kept me warm and I don't mind running in the cold. Stretch Stretch Stretch, I have to start to stretch more. Get that laziness out of my butt, cannot afford any injury that's for sure. Well March 21st 8k is just around the corner and my April and May are loaded with races. The time has now come and a order of Sirloin and Shrimp from Ruby Tuesday is in the works, OUT.
