A Wee Glimpse of Spring

Well even though we have been home for just over a week, things have been so busy that other than one great farmers tan, the warm temps and great memories of Tucson are starting to seem like a distant memory. Work was very busy and on Tuesday it finally came to a head, where I needed to stay home for the day and catch up on some much needed sleep. Wednesday brought with it a 3min and 20min TT workout. Not quite the numbers I was hoping to see but seeing as I was still "absorbing" all the riding from a week earlier, I have been told it is all on the up and up!

With a snowstorm predicted for Saturday night I opted to use Saturday to crank out a much needed run. As most runners can attest to, every so often you have a run that is just blissful. Where it feels as though you could run forever. I was really needing to have a good run and it was great! Heck, it was warm enough to wear short pants! As I write this I am looking out at 10cm of fresh snow and -29 degree temps... you just have to love March in Calgary. Monday will bring the start of my next three week block. MAP work out the bike and weekly track workouts to get back on top of my running. I can hardly wait! Add to that my tri-weekly swims and I am really starting to see my fitness come around, YAY.

This week I also had a really good meeting with Jack where we discussed the race season. I will do another post later this week with all of the details on each race. It works out to 5 tris, a few running races and maybe the odd bike race.... there is just more value in using weekends to clock some really strong training hours rather than the whole traveling and racing thing. I am really looking forward to it. My mom has volunteered to be my "groupie" for all away races, so another bonus!

On that note, I am going to sign off. I have the day off from training so will be helping Dave re-do the bonus room as we transform it into a theater room!
