Say What?

Well this weekend was very enjoyable. Friday I went home and just to test my cardio I went for a 3 mile tempo run. I knew Saturday Morning I would be going for a nice little hill climb so I just wanted to burn some energy and see if I would be able to make it the next day. Completed my run with a little help of the local high school cross country team. They were on their way back in and I stuck with them and just went back home. Had a great time with some awesome weather.
Saturday was awesome. Started from my buddies house, Clydesdale himself, with another friend that just started this crazy stuff. Both guys are in great shape and are competing in the same events as me except the big boy Ironman. These guys motivate me to no end, sometimes in a bad way and sometimes in a good way. Sometimes I focus my workouts to beat them which causes me to focus on the wrong things. Anyway, we finished our bike ride, which was up Parris Mountain and back, and then ran about 4 miles at a good pace. Awesome weather again and good times afterwards.

Sunday was an off day and I just worked on trying to get some grass to grow in my back yard. FUN TIMES! The most exciting thing that happened Sunday was waking up to my baby boy kicking my arm through my wife's belly. She is about 7 months pregnant and it is awesome... She is healthy and just starting to get uncomfortable but she is healthy and that is what I continue to pray for.

Finally, My boys Tyler and Ty finished the marathon and did great! Ty had some problems but finished and that is a big feat for both of these guys! I continue to look at what they did and it just pumps me up for my Ironman and scares me a little. I don't focus on the negative to much but it is still overwhelming with what I will have to do in 7 months. Great job guys and take care everyone!
