14 months
It’s been 14 months now. Still going strong. Gained a few pounds on vacation, between not exercising and all the cheese, most of it is gone now. I realised I need to save cheese for special occasions. Either way my diet is still going strong.
I had a great vacation in Wisconsin. I went to Noah’s Ark, went Kayaking and spent a lot of quality time with the Moore’s. It was the best vacation I have had in years. I didn’t do a whole lot overall but I relaxed and had fun. I also bought two Green Bay Packer’s Tee’s. I wanted a souvenir tee and those seemed like a good idea.
I decided after the triathlon that I wanted to do the same event next year and knock 15 minutes off of my time. I hired a trainer at my gym, Mitch. Mitch changed around my lifting routine, less muscle building more endurance building, a lot more core work (which was definitely needed). We have had 5 sessions so far and I feel like I am getting better. Today we had some extra time so I did sprints afterwards. That sucked. It was actually the first time I really have been able to do sprints since April and not worry about my calf. I’ve also started a new triathlon training routine. It has me running, biking and swimming by time rather then distance. I am doing the training for an Olympic Tri so hopefully it will help me to improve my times on my sprint.
I’ve seen a bunch of movies this summer, some good some not as good. Transformers 2 was awesome, especially in Imax. Their is a fight scene between Optimus and like 8 decepticons and its so damn cool, especially in Imax. Star Trek was good as was Fast and Furious, District 9 was interesting, but not something I’d buy on dvd, I liked GI Joe, my friends didn’t. Summer movie season is over so now I sit and wait til New Moon comes out in November.
Going to Philly next weekend, this time I am flying though. I am very excited to see The Taber’s. Then I am flying to Florida for the winter on November 14th. Thanks to Bonine I can fly without getting sick, which makes traveling a lot more fun. I might even go to Vegas next year.
The ball joints went on my Lincoln. Luckily it was when I was leaving my driveway. It cost me more then I’d like to fix it but I have my car back. I’ll have my dad’s truck to use in Florida so the Lincoln will get 4 or 5 months off. I am so happy I am avoiding winter again. Snow sucks. Especially for people who like to run and bike outdoors. I can deal with the cold for a bit, but it ruins exercising outside after a bit.
I’ll try to update more often but no guarantees.
