Oh Boy....

June has finally arrived. The rain has finally left and the summer is kicking into high gear.
Work is still kicking my butt. I have worked overtime the last three weeks. Which are incidentally the first three full weeks of my summer vacation.

I have been trying to get at least two workouts in everyday with one rest day a week. So far its been going pretty good. There are some days when i can only get one or none in because of work. But, i shake that off and continue on the next day.

I am up to about 2.5-3 miles per run now. Still really easy running. I don't want to push myself at all at this point. I am going to gradually work up a base and continue the gradual increase of mileage. I am expecting not to do any speed work before my triathlon in July. Then, hit the track and the trails for some faster work for the World Championships in September (hopefully, if i qualify).

I also have a 104 mile mountain bike race coming up at the end of june. I think its only in like two weeks. I can't believe how fast it is arriving. I might not be ready for it at all, but i think my mental drive and determination not to quit will keep me rolling over the long miles. Plus, they are awarding SWEET custom belt buckles to the individuals who break 12 hours. I think i can do that and the belt buckle is my one and only motivation.

Anyway, I am about to go swimming this morning for my second pool session this week. A short run after that and probably a mountain bike ride later on. Today is one of my coveted days off this week and i intend to use it fully. Later.
