200 To Go

Hard to believe that there is only 200 days to go until Timberman.  I can't wait, for August that is!  Not sure how I feel about the Timberman at this point since it seems so far away.  This weather is attrocious!  & it is hard to believe that all I write about it working out & going to the gym.  I guess that's why I started this blog, to track my training. 

It snowed here last night.  While the dusting of snow looks pretty, it's just a matter of time before it turns to a slushy mess & freezes over.  It may even snow more on Friday.  Yee effin ha!  More white stuff.  I can hardly contain my excitement. 

I have come to the realization that my eyesight is getting worse.  At least I think it is.  Maybe I just have tired eyes!  Wasn't that some dopey commercial back in the late 90s?  I am thinking about investing in a pair of prescription sunglasses.  Now I have had prescription sunglasses before, that's not the issue, but I think I need a pair for riding & running, not just the walking around fashion kind of sunglasses either.  I really don't need them to run, but being on the bike without glasses on is starting to become an issue.  Now I know you are all thinking, when is the last time you went outside to exercise,?  Ha ha funny.  Honestly though, I always do wear sunglasses when I go out biking, I just don't think I'm going to be able to get away with riding without them any longer.

This week I signed up for 2 races.  The Navesink or Swim & the Spring Lake 5.  I should say I sent in my application for the Spring Lake 5, we shall see if it gets accepted.  Here's the tricky part.  The Spring Lake 5 is on May 29th & the Navesink or Swim is on May 30th.  Eeek.  But a good friend said to me....if you can't do both in two days, you're never going to be able to do both in one day.  True true!  & I've been able to do that in a workout, so I don't think it will be that big of a deal.  & if it is too ambitious of a plan, well I'm sure you'll be reading all about it.
