Lame-o Blogger

I've been off the radar lately, but with a long list of good excuses. Right after the first of the year, we sold our NC house, then shot right up to PA and put a contract on a house, and ever since I have been buried in moving/mortgage/home inspection details. When a few minutes comes up free, I hit the tready or computrainer, rather than blog. Here's a quick update:

We close on our NC house 1/30
We close on our PA house 2/3
The house we bought is a 4 mile run from my new lab, hooray!

See Becca's blog for all moving related details, she is so much better at keeping this thing up than me!

As for training, the IMCDA plan was delayed 1 week since we were out of town, and then on the return trip I got an awful case of food poisoning. It was the first time in about 5 or 10 years I can remember vomiting in a non-alcohol related context. So, I've started up training as of last Sunday, but I am easing into it for sure. This week and the next two will be about getting in as many aerobic hours as my schedule allows, which right now is about 6. And I am putting off all swimming for the first 4 weeks of the plan. My rationalization is that if I swim 10,000 yards per week between now and IMCDA I will probably swim in the :55 range, and if I swim 0 yards per week between now and then, I'll probably swim a 1:05. That kind of return on investment isn't worth it right now, I am better off computraining or running if I get a few minutes.

Speaking of which, the computrainer just became free. Gotta go!
