Ive been running for the past seven months now, swimming for one, cycling for two. It is not all new for me. I took about a ear off weighed in at 221 pounds at 5'6. Was running 12 minute miles, swimming one length, cycling forty minutes and dying.
Yesterday I decided to have a little time trial in running. I already did them in the other two and they were okay. But my run was different. Let it be known that I also weigh 198 now, am still 5'6, and I love running again. anyway, there is the "Firestation" run that we do that is 2.25 miles long. last time I ran it hard (5 months ago), it took me 20:35. Yesterday, it took me 16:58! A slight improvement. I was probably running a t around 80 percent of my max. It was a good day. I skipped the swim though. I suck!
Today is Run 45 minutes to an hour and ride indoors for 2 episodes of CSI Miami. the goal is the Half Vineman in July. I did it ionce before without really training for it and it took forever. I am in better shape now than I was then.
The goal for 2008 is a full Ironman.
I want to thank you guys for your comments. It makes this blog thing so much fun. If you have suggestions on topics or writing styles, let me know, I am looking to improve my writing. its something I always wanted to be good at. Hopefully as I become better at it I will be able to entertain the few people that have given their time to read.
Thanks again!

What a great improvement you should be proud of yourself.
I can only hope I can be that fast 5 months from now.
Hey! First visit to your blog. I'll be back (in my best Arnold voice). :)
I am coming to your blog through Shelley's. Believe me, I know how it feels to not have anyone ever comment on your blog. But I don't "advertise" myself either. It takes time, but eventually people do respond. And its usually a core group that becomes followers. Personally, I don't have that much time to respond to every single person who responds to others, but I thought I would take a minute to tell you I know how you feel. Also, I have spent this past year trying to do a come back of sorts too, so everything I do is a preparation for a full IM, and hopefully that will be in 2008.
