Here's the DVD I'll be viewing soon...

I need to break out the DVD player and start stretching!

Amazon.com: DVD: Yoga For Inflexible People (2002)

Look for a review soon on Health Fact or Fiction.

So what am I up to now?

So what's my current plan? Am I training for anything?

Well, I'm being lazy, that's for sure. I've run once since I got back from Austin and haven't been on the bike at all.

How about swimming? Well, I know this won't seem too bad to you east coast or northern people, but it's been below freezing here in NoCal and I'm not about to jump in an outdoor pool right now.

My real goal for this winter has been opening up the Pilates and Yoga for Dummies videos I bought a month or so ago. It hasn't happened yet.

I have signed up for the Napa Valley Triathlon for May 2005, so I have a new goal. Now I just need to get off my keister.

Haven't updated for a while...

My apologies to all those who actually read my blog. Let me catch you up a bit...

I finished the Bethel Island Triathlon in 2 hours 53 minutes - my first olympic distance triathlon. Here's a nice photo of me going across the finish line:



After finishing the race, I was treated to a "lovely" full body massage (man that woman found every knotted muscle I have - it hurt worse than the triathlon!) and an excellent porterhouse steak for my 40th birthday. The day was wonderful.

Joni and I then travelled to Austin and I rode in the Lance Armstrong Foundation Ride for the Roses. I did the 100 mile ride and it was hot, humid, and windy. Which I guess is better than the cold, rainy, and windy weather they had last year.

Here's a shot of me crossing the finish line and posing at the end:




If you notice, I have just my sock on one foot. I wore my triathlon shoes and was moving my feet in and out of my shoes near the end of the ride in order to avoid hot spots (I have really high arches). At the finish line my legs were pretty tired and I couldn't quite get my one foot back in to my shoe.
