Hello Again

      Well I am back...ish.  If you follow this blog you are aware that sometimes I go time with out an update sorry.  But when I don't train I don't Blog. The long and short of it is that I did 4 triathlons this summer but I never hit my goal of the 70.3.  I had a training set back when I took a month off before the big race due to my mother being in the Neuro ICU at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle WA.  She had a brain aneurism bust, which caused a major brain bleed.  In this time I was with family and doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing... Training took a back seat as it should have.  I am happy to report that My mother is doing great by the grace of God and thanks to a huge army or prayer warriors.  I still went to my race but I did the olympic distance and not the full blown 70.3 ( it had a little bit of a different feel due to the fact my mom could not be there but I picked up her shirt and did a race for 2 Gleasons I know :).  I went on to do 2 more Triathlons and a open water swim race.  I am now in rest mode with no actually training plan but am set on doing a 70.3 next summer and I will be spending the off season working on individual skills and concentrating on keeping my fitness level up with cross training and pool work.  My goal is to do a half marathon in the off season to make sure I keep my running up to snuff ( because I hate/love running).  I believe I have a few Picture of my races I will try to get posted.
