How are you? Aren't you training for another Ironman? Was it Tahoe or Lake Placid?

Hey! I am! I've got Lake Placid in 9 weeks. I actually just tried to post something about it, but proboards seems to have eaten it. Training has been really crappy and inconsistent, what with all the big things going on in life in the past year/next couple months (divorce, moving out of the house, deciding to go back to school, meeting an awesome guy that I want to enjoy spending time with, leaving my job, moving to Colorado in August).

I'm going to take a stab at IMLP and we'll see what happens. I feel better about it after today, but holy crap that bike is BRUTAL.

How's your training going?

it's so hard to get it all in with school, work and a new beau. I feel that this is my first year as a teacher that I can handle this kind of training, I don't think I could have done this two years ago. So, I hear you, it's not easy at all. But you've done it once, you can do it again!!!

Overall, training is going really well! I've been really consistent so far with only a few missed training days. My bike and run are still slow but a huge improvement over where I was even a year ago. I'm pretty tired most days and thankfully school is done by the time I bump up my training to 20 hours a week, so that worked perfectly. I'm really excited for my race!
