Well, I ran 8 miles before my right knee wasn't feeling too good (it was that tiling, I know it, worse on your joints than marathoning). Dustin ran 4 of those with me, but he has a head cold, so that was all he could handle. Then, I went to TNT swim practice and swam 1700 meters. It felt good, but I was definitely tired. Our total from January until now are 30,150 meters for swimming, 605 miles of biking , and 152 miles of running. That should be more, but because of our break we took with the cruise, those numbers are "low." I just want to say if you are reading this and haven't been able to get into a good workout routine and healthy eating routine, you just have to set your mind to it. It was extremely hard getting back to our routine after that cruise, but finally, we just said, no more eating pizza and overeating unhealthy foods and we gotta start burning calories. Although most of you won't be going long distances, even running, walking, cycling, lifting weights for short periods still burns calories. So, get up off that couch and go for it. Print yourself out a schedule and stick to it. I know I feel so much better now after only two days of training after our break. Remember, there are no such things as unrealistic goals, just unrealistic time frames!
It is Ironman eve and everything is going great! We are sitting here in our hotel room of Fairfield Inn and they have wireless internet in the rooms so I'm typing on my laptop. Dustin's shaving, Dave is drinking a beer, Jeff and Jen are being assigned duties, Paula, Kendra's sister is getting last minute tips for cheering from Kendra. Now Jeff, Jen, and Dave's pizza just got here. Kendra, Dustin and I already ate our microwaved pasta about 6 PM, while we hung out by the indoor pool with some of the kids from our group. By group, I mean the best freakin cheer squad ever!!!! We had our lunch at Panera bread earlier at 12 and met up with most of Dustin's family and my parents old friends' Greg and Mary who they hadn't seen in 10 years and their daughter, Nikki who lives here in Madison who we grew up together! She is going to be a part of our cheering squad tomorrow along with Bill, Gwen, Jeff, Dave, Jen, Walt, Judy, Becky, Ken, Don, Carolyn, Shelley, Braxton, ...
