Not Much Blogging, Plenty Of Training

O.K., I realize that the blog posts have been anemic recently -- between being crazy busy with my new job and the fact I cannot access this website from work, I simply have not had many opportunities to pen updates. The good news is that my training has been much more consistent. I have continued to get a couple of runs and spin bike rides in each week, as well as hitting the weights once a week. Most of my training has remained indoors as Spring has not quite arrived yet, although I have been running outside more often (including a four mile run this morning in which I ran the last two in less than 7:00 per mile pace). The temperature is supposed to steadily increase this week into the high 60s/low 70s, so I am really hoping that by next weekend I can start riding outside at least once a week. My swim training is still non-existent, but we are not going to talk about that.

I also signed up for two additional races -- the Queens Biathlon on May 26th (which I also did last year) and the Metroman Triathlon at Asbury Park on July 16th. Unfortunately it looks like I will not be doing the Stamford KIC IT Triathlon on June 27th -- I have a couple of other more important obligations that weekend (including my wedding anniversary). It's not the end of the world -- I will just try and find another race that fits into my schedule. That's about all that I have to report -- I will try and update the blog more regularly going forward, but I cannot promise anything...
