On vacation again

I am in Ogunquit, Maine with my mom for thanksgiving weekend. We did this trip last year and really enjoyed it. Fitness wise, this week, before leaving on thursday, I did two good swims with UPEI, one run, a spin class and three hot yoga classes. My shoulder is a bit sore from swimming. There is something wrong with my technique, I think, that causes my right shoulder to be sore. I ran this morning (saturday) for 45 minutes along the beach. Despite not running as much as I used to, I feel like I am bit faster than I used to be. I think the yoga has helped with my overall flexibility and that helps my running. I am watching the Ironman World Championships online. That is still a goal of mine in the back of my mind but it is something I would really have to focus on. It seemed realistic a year or two ago when I did Lake Placid in 11:30. I thought if I could get my ironman time below 11 hours I would be close to qualifying in my age group. If I could do that when I am 50 (3 years from now) I would qualify. We will see. Next year, I am going to do the Olympic Distance world championships and see how fast I can get over shorter distances. then, in 2012, I am going to do Lake Placid again.
