God

I have not been spending time reading gods word and I don't feel as
close to god. I need to get back into the habbit of doing soap and our
couples devotional. It's so easy to let the things of the world pull
you away from god. I went to the prison on Friday at that was good we
watched a service there. I need to start focusing on god. Thank you
god for sending your son so that I can have a relationship with you.

Time

Training has been going great the big problem is the time. Now that
I'm on snow duty I have to get up at 3:40 to get a workout in before
work. I'm trying now to take to much time away from Joanna and the
boys. Time is something you don't get back. I want to make sure I
spend time with the boys so they know who their dad is but I also want
them to know that working out is something that we need to do. I hope
that my actions are teaching them that. I love my wife and kids so
much. I pray that I can make best use of my time.

The Big Accident

So I was feeling good about my training after run for 30 mins and doing the x-trainer for 30 mins.  I came right home to shower and shave and because Joanna has volleyball.  So I start trimming up my goatee and after I took the first pass i look in the mirror to see I had shaved off half of my prize winning facial hair.  I'm so bummed out now I look like some 80's dude with a cheeze mustache.  I could shave it all off but then I look like I'm 13 years old.  I hope it grows back fast.....

Sore Everywhere

Well day 2 of training and I'm sore.  Yesterday I ran 40 mins after work and got about 3 miles in that time.  Today I ran this morning for 30 mins and got about 2 miles.  Tonight I will be biking on my trainer at home for an hour.  My sleep has been great the last 2 days as well.  I'm getting about 7 hours of sleep.  I know the soreness will go away but right now is not good.  Yesterday after looking up the pool length I did do only half of my swim workout.  I will be lifting today and I'm a little nerves because I will be doing dead-lifts and I hurt myself last time so this time I need to watch my form.  I played Broom-ball last night it was a lot of fun I will miss it when we have no Ice to play on.

Today is the start

Well today I started my training for a half ironman triathlon. I
forgot how long the pool was and I think I only did half of my
workout. I have to run yet tonight 40 min. So far this has gone well
but I can see some problem with me ride sharing because I want to keep
one of my 2 daily workouts in the morning. I will still lift 3 times a
week and do all the other things I have been doing. I am thinking I
might start a company to pay for my ironman next year, that way I can
take some of the cost off of my taxes. The tax man was good to us this
year. We will be able to pay down more of our debt now. One goal
Joanna & I have is to have no creditcard debt by the end of this year.
I'm at work so I gots to go. Bye

Well it’s been a while since I wrote last so I’ll catch you up. We got the van fixed looks like it did before the finder binder. His insurance company sent me a check for the deductible. So I made money on the accident. They paid me $10 a day that I didn’t have my vehicle. So I made $20 but I’ll be giving that to Joanna’s grandma for letting us use her car. I have ramped up my training for the bike ride. I now have been working out for 1 hour plus the exercises the fitness center gave me. I do ½ hour on the cross trainer and ½ hour on a bike. I also bought a new road bike. It’s a Giant OCR 3. It’s an entree level racing/ Novice bike. I liked it better then the other bikes I tested. I’m looking for a trainer for my bike. A trainer is a stand you put your bike into to make it a stationary bike. I hope to win one on ebay. Joanna may get lasik eye surgery for her birthday. It depends on the price and if it will work for her problems and how long she’ll have before she needs glasses again. I’m worried about it I know that a lot of people have it do without any side effects from it. I just don’t want anything to happen to Joanna. I was biking outside but now that it snowed I don’t know if I’ll be doing that real soon again. I did bike last night in the snow on my mountain bike. It was ok I just rode to Russ and Angie’s for dinner and back home. It was fun I haven’t ridden in the snow for years. I felt like a kid. The part of me that’s grown-up is worried about the ice under the snow and taking a fall. I shaved my face yesterday. Got read of the goatee. I was funny when I picked up Tyler from daycare because he hadn’t seen me without it yet. He looked at me like I know who you are but you look funny. Then on the ride home every time I looked at him in the back seat he’d laugh. Well that’s a recap of the past 6 or 7 days.

Jan 11
Today I worked out hard. I did 45mins on the cross trainer at 140 heart rate and the last five minutes it went to 170 heart rate. I did 2X15 Good morning, bent back row and SB Squats. But I made a big decision today. I singed up for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride. It’s a 100 mile one day bike ride around Lake Tahoe. This will make me have to work hard to achieve this goal of riding 100 miles. The Date of the ride is June 4. That mean I have 4 ½ months to train for it. Starting Feb 4 LLS will start the training program. I’m so excited to do this. So I hope that I have a lot of support for family and friends. I don’t have anyone I know of that has died from leukemia or lymphoma but I do know a lot of people who died from cancer or our fighting it. This is my way to help a good cause and train to become fit again. I played disc golf today. I lose to Ryan and Russ, I was 3 over par. I did have a good come back on the last 3 holes I had 2 birdies. I just need one more to tie Russ or Russ could have messed up. Well anyone up for a bike ride??
