Its been a long time since I last "blogged". Don't know where really to start, but will give it a "tri".
Life has been both crazy and lazy aroung the house. Still working 40+ hours a week as a Nursing Supervisor and started my part-time position working for a local doctor doing testing on his patients for vascular disease and am still studying for my BS in Nursing but switching schools (am still on-line, new program moves faster). Also attending every Friday nite high school football games watching my baby boy (6ft 5 280) play starting nose guard for our varsity team (ranked #10 in our divsion in the state) and focusing on my daughter as she starts her freshman year in college, and spending quailty time with my wife.
Since I work everyother weekend, my wife and I have been taking one day on our weekend off and spending doing something fun and away from the house. Been going to local parks for walks, lunches out etc.
So, haven't been blogging myself but have been reading other blogs in our blog community.
I fell off the diet wagon, but with no weight gain. Workouts slowed but did not stop. I picked up a new toy to help with my training. Nike ipod. Love it!!!!! I don't wear Nikes but got a sensor pocket to lace in my shoes.
Last night in the mail was a newsletter from my community center and in it talked about the upcomong events.....and then there was a small text box.....Indoor Triathlon March 30, 2008.
So, I called and spoke with Heather, who is in charge of this event. She also does personal training there. So, I was scheduling a visit with her to go over the weight machines and we started to discuss the indoor triathlon (500m swim/15mi bike/5k run) and asked her what she thought about a "Super Clydesdale" doing her event to which she replied...Yes.
She then told me that she was a former master fitness specialist with the Army and asked if she could mentor me. Inside I was screaming YESSSSSSSSS!! So to be cool I responded, yeah sure .
So, fellow bloggers do you think that with training and a lot of dedication, that this Super Clydesdale in 5 and 1/2 months train for an indoor event?
500m swim in pool
15mi on spinner bikes
5k on a treadmill
Again thanks to all of you.....Duane, The Wimmers, Obrats and many others who have allowed me into your world and shared with me training tips, stories and above all else inspiring me to be a better, fitter me.

Yes I think it is plenty of time to train for the indoor Tri. You will do great, Go for it Steve.
Awesome dude you are set - a goal race, a coach, new gear (sportkit is awesome by the way). I use the laces pocket too - nike shoes are too narrow for me to be comfortable running.
Just got news tonight that my sophomore is being called up to varsity for the playoffs - high school football is the best isn't it??? Now I get a few more games to enjoy it.
absolutely you can do that tri, keep plugging away at it.
Yes, yes, yes! You will be able to do it for sure! Just put in the training and it's a done deal! Cool about the coach too! Super Clydesdales rock!:-)
