cool runnings
The running has been going great lately..."knock on wood"...have invested in some new gear that has got me a bit excited about getting outside and enjoying the weather....
Have also been able to get out on the bike a lil bit as well...mostly rolling the CX bike...sometimes with a hefty 28 tire and sometimes with a cross knobby...built of a new CX rig lately...fun stuff...pics will be forthcoming...

got up to around 50 degrees here today - giddy up - but man did I over-heat...I hate it when I have all the perfect clothing for the occasion back at home!! - spend all this dough on gear and then to not have it when you need it pisses me off...but better to hot that cold I suppose...I was over heating from about 20 minutes into the ride, but refused to turn around and fix the problem...;-)...might be 60's by tomorrow...
again experimenting with posting from Garmin...something screwy with the HR in the first part of the ride...

Spring schedule...
...is taking shape...I have the Trail marathon the last weekend in April...here - doing the entire weekend, 5 miler on Sat...then full mara on Sunday - fun stuff - prior to this, looking to do the Mill Creek Distance Classic in Y-town...and at $25 for what is the hilliest 1/2 marathon I have ever done it is some serious bang for the buck...so all these 1/2 mara's charging $70 and up drive me nuts...also looking to jump in this bike race...Barry - Roubaix - just hope it works out with a vaca I am working on around that time...and then in June I have the BSG 2011 - so there you have it - some of the highlights of the spring...
I am sure there will be some other training events in there as well to keep things interesting...also trying to fit in a training camp down to TN at some point...would like to make a big combo trip out of the Barry and then head to TN for some riding...we shall see how it all shakes out...

2011??
Since I officially have a following I figured I had better give them something to read...so here it goes...
With the coming of a new year one starts to think of what is in store...this year is a bit different b/c I am now married for 2011 ;-)...so this will bring all types of new challenges I am sure...on the professional front, 2011 has me still a teacher, and remaining as such for the foreseeable future. Although, sometimes I get an inkling to begin something new...maybe more on that later...athletically, well things are a bit more open...I would like to do another marathon, and I have my eyes set on a trail version up in Michigan at the end of April, GO SEE IT ...or head down to Nashville, where I can find my one blog follower and hit up the Nashville Mara...I also have a big ride planned in June, the Blood, Sweat, and Gears Ride near Boone, NC...you can find it HERE ...prior to that a few of us are headed to a 24hour MTB gig in Mohican the first weekend of June...I would also like to get in a 1/2 IM this year, as last year was the first time I have not gotten one in for as long as I can remember...(was busy planning a wedding, and that was my main event for 2010!)...I would also like to try a 50k in 2011 if the running legs can hold up...I have had reoccurring issues with some Achilles tendinitis that seems to inhibit my running at times throughout the year...by then, my favorite time of year will be upon us...wait for it...CROSS SEASON, oh yeah, cyclocross has become my racing of choice the last couple of years...
SO THERE you have it...the rough outline...2010 had me in over 30 events of all types throughout the year, and 09 was about the same, so I assume 2011 will be in that ballpark...see you out there...
