…coming up with post titles

Cold and puffy today. Hitting that age where the cold air makes me wake up with puffy face . It’s around 15 degrees right now, burr… Had to go to the coffee shop to work, still too cold in the house.

Yesterday ran for 40 minutes. Was a good run but cold as well. My feet and legs kinda ached a bit until they warmed up about 10 minutes in. Interesting running in the cold and being able to literally feel the air enter end exit your lungs. Starting to put together my training plan for ‘07. Just going to do random stuff for the rest of the month. Fying out to Texas for Christmas on Thursday so can’t really get into a set schedule just yet. Probably run mostly until the 1st. Then 2 months of prep/base, then my 6 month plan to Wisconsin. BigMatt is going to Australia, bastard , to train, leaves January 20th or so. Awesome for him to be able to take this trip, but leaving me in the cold and without my winter motivator. On my own this season then, but feel good and confident about my plans.

I think I’m gonna finally try to use my trifuel founders status to make some equipment upgrades. Most think I sport the top stuff because of the site and my brothers, but truth is I never wanted to use that to get free stuff. I’m still riding the same Look road bike with bent aerobars that I rode before I started the site. I have a hand-me-down wetsuit from Chris, but that’s about it. So, this year I’m gonna get a true tri bike and a proper fit. So now it’s a matter of money and if I can get a deal then that means less out of pocket costs that can go to site stuff and paying the ‘other’ bills. Anyway we’ll see how it goes.

Just finished How Lance Does It, I posted my review on Trifuel. A good book on the principles and formula Lance uses to achieve his success.

Reading Jack Daniels guide to running. That’s not the book on how to crawl from your barstool to the taxi cab, but rather how to improve your running.

Until next time.
