Fall Shmall

It's getting cooler and cooler...if I could stop the temperature decline and hold the current temperature for the next 5 months and skip winter I would be so happy. However that only happens in California, most of California voted winter off the calendar in the 40's. Man, you have to love that state! Now I don't really hate fall, it's just the intro to something awful. I get like this every fall, and by the time winter actually hits I am so numb to the pain that I enjoy winter. Winter is the only time where I am able to trail with Kiowa and not worry about chiggers or ticks. I am training for a marathon this winter and it's great to run while it's freezing...well I prefer a little warmer than freezing, but there are few things better than an 'all out' trail run for hours in the cold weather. Don't worry about me I am just going through my process, it happens every year and every year I survive. I will try to make this winter in the Midwest my best and last winter in the Midwest. That's right kids I'm outta here next summer. Heading to the Rockies, where the women are strong, the men are good looking and the kids are above average.

Kirksville to Columbia

The Summer is Over

Many of my loyal fans have been asking me - nay demanding more blog entries. They are saying something to the effects that they can barely make it a day if they do not have my blog to read. This goes out to them...you know who you are. The reason I have not updated my blog is because it was summer - too busy playing. Now that summer is over it is back to the drawing board for me. I now get to map out my next summer and train for all of my events that I wish to accomplish. I'm still working out my blue print but this is what I have so far;

April - Marathon
May - Half Marathon
June - Sprint Triathlon
July - Olympic Triathlon
August - Tour of California Pirate Style
September - Lotoja (Solo all 206 miles), Half IronMan, and
October - Nothing at all - Walking optional but will not be encouraged.

I'm not exactly sure if I want to do the Half IronMan in August or September, I will have to talk to my coach for that one. Now I have all of these events to train for and you my loyal fans get to read about me whining and complaining about all of them. Stay tune for a year of jam packed fun!
