Blogging from Ogunquit

I am in Ogunquit, Maine for Thanksgiving weekend with my mom. This past week was busy getting ready to go and busy with work. To update the blog re my workouts: on Tuesday, the 6th, I swam in the morning and taught spinning in the afternoon. My swims have been scaled back to around 1800m which i am enjoying instead of having to swim 3000m. On Wednesday, I ran at lunch with Robert Jenkins who has started running in the past year and is enthusiastic. My running is feeling pretty good. I may actually be a bit faster these days. I left Thursday for this vacation. Today, Saturday, I went for a 40 minute run, part of which was along the ocean and the scenery was spectacular. I was just reading Tdisc's blog where Pye was announcing some of his goals for next year. I haven't had a chance to think about what my fitness goals are. I plan to do the Mooseman Triathlon again in 2010 and maybe do better because I will be able to focus on it. I would like to do a few more multi-sport relays like the Red Island Relay and the Souris relay; I would like to do more 10 k runs to get faster; I would like to go on a cycling vacation this winter instead of going to lie on a beach.

Posting is becoming infrequent

Now that I am not training for an ironman, I don't have as much info to post on here. Last week was a bit hectic with work, teaching and social stuff. I picked up the workouts a bit by the weekend. I swam Friday morning and then ran after work on Friday. I taught spinning Saturday morning and then went for a good 16 k run with tdisc which was fun. Sunday morning I ran about 8 k and then, this morning, Monday, I swam. I am planning on doing a weights workout after work today. I am teaching a course for UPEI in summerside on Wednesday nights until Christmas so that cuts out one night a week for training. I feel like I am eating alot and not training enough but that is probably normal after training for an ironman triathlon. I have been thinking I would like to go somewhere warm this winter for a biking holiday. It is just a thought but it would be fun if you could get some other people to go. That would be the problem.
