Alex and Danelle Visit

Alex and Danelle came to visit again and we are enjoying every minute of it. We took a trip to Garden of the Gods and got some good pics thanks to Danelle (we left our memory card home). Here's a highlight reel of the whole weekend so far.

Piano for Sarah

Sarah finally got a piano that two boys can move up and down a few stairs. Thanks Alex!

Pop Up

So here is our tax return gift to ourselves. We found a pop up camper on craigslist and went after it since they disappear mere hours after they are posted. This is one from 1989. Daddy and the boys slept in it last night (Tensley tried but only made it to 1 am). We are pretty excited to get a full season of use with it this year.

End of Feb. You Tired of my Cardio posts yet?

So its the end of the Lazyman Triathlon as Feb. comes to a close. I managed to drastically slow things down after the first two weeks where I accomplished all initial goals. I still enjoy doing all three workouts, but on a much lower intensity. I am just going to swim to swim and get my form, running's focus is on longer distances as I only do a max of 5 or 6 miles at a time, and biking...well all I really need is to maintain time on the saddle. Here are my lazyman numbers:

Running: 52.4 miles
Swimming: 3 miles
Biking: 145 miles

Mile Marker 100

So counting from Jan 1, 2011, I have logged 100 miles in running form. That is just under 2 miles a day (52 days). I am feeling pretty good about it in part because I compare myself to Alex and his body doesn't seem to like running very much :)
I plan to keep going, I just wish I could amp up my biking and swimming as easily in the winter months...well, swimming doesn't come easily in any month, but whatever.

Bar Raised. Now to keep it there...

So it took me 15 days to accomplish the lazyman triathlon put on by my air force base. My goal was two weeks and it took a day longer than I wanted, but since it was my first time doing it, and I have been out of a swimming pool for two years, I still considered it an accomplishment. Now that I have found my swimming muscles again, all I need to do is maintain all three. Maintaining all three over the span of almost five months will be tricky. It feels good to have some sort of motivation. My motivation was an official event. Hopefully I can keep my motivation alive without that.
