Role Model??

If you are wondering what I've been doing while not blogging it looks a lot like Pinot in the above photo. It seems as though my foot injury combined with a seemingly month long celebration of my 40th birthday have taken over my tri training. That, is a bad thing. I have a 5K this Saturday in Maryland. The cause is great. A little girl from Chestertown who has gone through a severe heart health ordeal. Kiki tried to organize a little fundraiser for her. We obliged. Of course, I didn't count on being way off any kind of game to compete. Oh well, I will start and finish like usual, way in the back.
Since my last post, I have started to get my open swim gear thanks to a generous donation from my parents. I hope to get to the lake and or some rivers sometime this month and next to be prepared for the choppy river waters on tri day. I did get out on Madonna a couple of weeks ago. I was waiting for Bean to finish practice and it was spectacular. I only did a 10 mile loop but I added a couple of small hills and I was outside which made me happy.
My class is coming to a rapid close. Finals in about 10 days. The end of the first class, especially Anatomy and Physiology, will be a nice accomplishment. I must get better at mixing everything together. I didn't plan on one thing taking away from another. For example, contributing to my poor running status is my poor eating habits on class night. Also, there was a weekend stretch where I realized I had gone about 3 days with 0 vegetables on my plate! Not a very Type I friendly way to run the body.
Appointment exercise is next. I fit a swim and a half hearted run in over a non-working lunch. The swim went well but the run did not. I feel like if I can smartly fuel my body and get some more time on the road with shoes and wheels, I can get back into a rhythm quickly. There is a deadline to all of this so I better.
Look for details of a American Diabetes Association fundraiser for the tri locally soon. Here's a hint, name the celebrity bartender...Go Big Tone.
