The last week of the year

2010 is winding down with only a few days left. The off season is going well. I am almost back to my fitness level from April/May. The dogs are happy to be running more frequently. I think I have some of the fastest tri-dogs around. Here is a picture of tired dogs after running.

I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me!!!

ICE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Have you ever got up to go for a run in the wee hours of the morning? I decided to take the dogs out for a run at 5:30AM. It was mostly cloudy with a few stars here and there. After 45 minutes, I noticed there were more stars and less clouds. I figured no big deal. That is until I almost fell on my face. The temperature dropped and iced up the roads. I changed up my stride for the rest of the run. I slipped several more times, but never too bad to bite it. I have never run with the temperature cooling during the early part of the day.

During the week I swam, biked, and ran a little more than last week.

Rain and wind

What a crazy night/morning!!! The winds were howling and the rain wouldn't let up.

I decided to head out for a run with the dogs. I'm glad I took my floaties and flippers. There were several small ponds formed from all of the rain. The dogs had so much fun. Every time they came near a giant puddle, they attacked each other to claim ownership of the puddle. It was hilarious.

I swam, biked, and ran a little over the last 2 weeks. The See-food diet is going well. Whatever food I "See" I eat.



Keeping Vizslas busy



I hope everyone had a great Turkey weekend

Drank till I puked my guts out...

Swam some, biked a bit, ran a few...

Relaxed and pigged out a lot...

31 days till 2011...

Status report...

Ummm...

I have worked out as minimally as possible. It has been nice.

I have eaten pretty much everything in sight.

The dogs are happy.

That's all there is to say about training.

It's getting nice and cold.

Can you believe it...

It has been over 60 degrees the last couple days. Does this mean it is going to be a warm or cold winter? I am not sure, but I like having the sun out.

Fina hurt her shoulder the other day. I don't know how. She seemed fine after a twenty minute run. I ended up taking her to the vet. She is hopped up on narcotics and benadryl.

Kona is her normal crazy self.

As for me a swim here, bike there, and some running in between. I love the off season.

3 weeks of recovery

Recovery has been going well. I took a full week off with no exercising.

The second week I swam 3 times for a total of 1 hour. Yep, that was the entire week.

Last week , I started running again. The dogs are happy again. We ran everyday except Saturday. I also squeezed in 3 short swims totaling ninety minutes.

Starting tomorrow, I get back into some form of a routine.
