I cleaned my bike

I cleaned my bike because it was absolutely filthy.  It was last washed probably 2 years ago.  It is looking much better now.  I put some new tires on it yesterday, but I need to get the bar tape redone as well.

I'm back with Texas Iron.  Well, kinda.  I'm showing up to the group workouts and I'm receiving the training schedule, but I'm not really following the training schedule.  My life has been insane lately so it is good that I'm still sticking with some semblance of a training plan.  However, my coach did compliment me kinda on my first workout back.  She said that I'm actually in shape because most of the time when I come back after some time off, I'm huffing and puffing pretty badly.  Well, I have been doing stuff on my own so I'm not completely out of shape.

This week has been more consistent than last week so that is good.  IT is getting hot so my running is about to take a complete nose dive very shortly.  I can do everything else in the heat except for running.  Not much else to say besides I'm feeling pretty good so far and I hope it stays that way.

Last week: 13.5 miles
This week: 19.5 miles

Asics mileage: 306 miles

I finally shaved my legs

I just got out of the shower about an hour ago and I now have nice, smoothish legs for the first time in almost a year.  The reason for this is that I'm seeing my physical therapist again and while there, I usually get taped up for various reasons.  Removing that tape a few days laters freaking hurts!

Been doing my own training for April and it has been going well so far.  I've had a few off days but for the most part, I've been fairly consistent on my own.  In May, I'm getting back with Texas Iron which will push me and keep me on track as well.  At this point, I'm feeling pretty good about triathlon training, but we will see how it goes.  Of the 3 disciplines, I seem to bounce back with swimming the fastest.  For most people, it is the most unforgiving but not for me for some odd reason.  I was out of the pool for at least 6 months and on my 3rd week back, I bust out a 1:13 for 100yds.  I was completely gassed after that, but I still did it!

Oh, I think it is time for new bike tires since I can see the threads through the rubber.
