I guess it's safe to say that I love life even when I am not back to basics but I do have a point here. Now that my significant races are done for the year, and my knee is back to 100%, I am enjoying working out just for the pure fun of it. I am logging some decent running miles and spending time back in the weight room again. It feels good to just do your thing without worrying about what your training should be.
No doubt I will pick up another race or three over the winter months but no pressure. The one thing that I have decided to do is run the NJ Shore marathon in early May with TEAM IN TRAINING. I am a TNT tri coach, and a leukemia survivor, so it's time I did an event with TNT as a participant. It will be nice getting in marathon shape so early in the year. That should really jump start my triathlon season in '09. This will be marathon number .... 16 for me. Sweet 16. The cool thing is that MG is also going to do the event with TNT. That whole concept is pretty moving for me. MG has been at all of my bigger finish lines, and sat through every chemo treatment and Dr. visit with me. And now we'll do an event together for the cause. That just flat out rocks.
Well I better go take a nap so I can stay awake for another Phillies World Series win. This season has been special because my dad was such a big Phillies follower. I can't help but think of him when I watch them. I should take a rado to his memorial bench and listen to one of these last games with him. Good idea, me.
Talk at ya soon.
