Cruisin' to the new year...

I guess I am kind of behind the ball. I am going to write about my expectations for 2010, but we are already almost two weeks into 2010 and I am just now getting around to it. Although, I do have a fairly good excuse...I was out of the country and inaccessible for the past 9 days. My family and I all went on a cruise with my aunt and uncle to the eastern Caribbean. We escaped the cold temperatures (until the bahamas) that had plagued the whole of the US it seems. 90 degrees in Antigua and St. Thomas. Pretty great.

Anyway, on to my expectations. Since we only got back into town late last night, I am going to use today to get settled in. Meaning, I am going to go get my new running shoes, swim bag (for all my new swim toys I got for Christmas), swim jammers and get back into the pool tomorrow for the first time since October! My official training begins tomorrow and I am not stopping until I qualify for the XTERRA World Championships (hopefully). I also need to buy a new bike here pretty soon, but seeing as though the trails will be snowpacked for a while, it might have to wait.

It feels good to be into 2010. I feel like this year is going to be a good one as far as training goes and a hard one for school. But, with God's help, I should make it out unscathed and better than ever!
