Touching Base

Well, training has been going pretty good since Mt. Lakes. Gotten some good rides in...swimming has been consistent...and running is finally starting to come along. I'm sure that I should be a lot further along with running, but with the nagging knees this year, I haven't been able to get all the volume in. I did get a 13 miler in this AM which is the furthest that I've run since Mercedes back in February (holy crap, I do have some volume to make up).

Things are about to start getting crazy. Little man turns 1 this Friday! Can't believe that he has been in our world for a whole year already. He has definitely made life interesting, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Coming home to he and MH make the days worthwhile. We are having his party on the 11th (Surfin Safari!). We thought about inviting friends, but with family alone we are going to be pretty cramped in our quarters so if we started inviting friends, we'd have to rent out a hall. We are definitely blessed with large families and awesome friends. This weekend, marks the start of college football...hell yes! Auburn kicks off the season against Arkansas State. I'm pumped about seeing how our boys are going to be this season. WDE!

Sunday will by my second to last race before IMFL. Callaway Gardens hosts the longest running triathlon in the US. I hear it is lots of fun. They are also having a hot air balloon festival this weekend. It ought to be a pretty cool thing. Then Sunday night, Keith has hooked me up with some tickets to the NASCAR race in Atlanta. It's going to be a busy weekend, thank God we have Monday off.

I'll put up another post towards the end of the week. On a side note...I'm a hit with the Asians! Every post has at least 2 comments from them. Have a great week!
