Hi everyone, its been a while

So I haven't updated lately because well my life has been go, go, go for the past few weeks and even the little things like sleeping have taken the back seat to Lab Reports, Problem Sets, tests and review sessions for Finals. My training has been greatly reduced but I am getting it in when I can, it has been hard to really find the motivation without being signed up for any races yet. I know that Ironman opened up a new race in November in AZ but after my debacle with attempting to sign up for IMFL and dealing with the anger and crapola that caused, I decided Ironman would have to wait a year. This really does make more sense in the end. In a little over six months from now I will be starting a new job and working some crazy hours in an area that I don't even know yet.

So this brings me to my "plan" for next season. I have two races that I know I am doing for sure: The Holy Half Marathon here at Notre Dame, they haven't released a date yet and the Patriot Half Ironman in Freetown, MA on July 5th. I am looking for a Spring and Fall full Marathon and a possible fall Half-ironman. And maybe throwing in some Shorter 5Ks or 10Ks or half marathons. I will also be racing for the Notre Dame cycling team starting in February, thats going to be some cold races.

So in recap, training is slowly beginning again but far from full swing. I am also pretty much a TTW challenge dropout now because of how poor my training has been with sickness injury and time, but congrats to everyone who has kept it up. I also hope to be updating more.

Oh yeah, what I am doing with all the money I saved not being able to register for Ironman, season pass to Sunday River, ME for when I am home to get back on my snowboard and really shred it up. I have to get my legs back into great shape again quick, they are pretty solid right now but not ideal.
