The training for Bloomsday will actually begin the week of my birthday in February…about the 3rd week. Until then, I have been doing lots of core exercises and some speed work. I want to pace myself in training as to avoid peaking before the race.<\/p>\n
It looks like a good time for a half marathon in mid June over in\u00a0Vancouver,Washington. I think I’ll try that one to obtain my PR. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
It’s been difficult to remain healthy. For some reason, the kids have been getting sick (stomach bugs, ER trips for various things, and sore throats) often. I felt horrible last week that made me have to call in sick to work. I haven’t been that sick for as long as I can remember. Hopefully this bout of sicknesses is all we’ll have to deal with throughout the rest of the year!<\/p>\n
Before the Bloomsday (May 1), I’d like to lose about 15 more lbs. In addition to being able to run faster, I hope to lower some of my cholesterol levels. We’ll see in about 3 weeks or so when I go in for the blood work.<\/p>\n
Lisa and I celebrate our 7 year anniversary today. Hopefully the kids get some good medicine and feel better so we can enjoy a date night. Chances are better to celebrate later in the week or maybe next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
