Good workouts, as I feel that I gave it all I had. Legs had nothing to fire when I was done, almost like when I completed the Ironman in November. WOW, I was dead when I was done. Had to replenish lots of food before doing my run later in the day, but was still gone.

Great thing that tomorow is a rest day, because I think that I really will need it.

Parents left early in the morning, and then headed to the pool around noon. Then later after some good food, headed out for a nice bike/run brick workout. Felt pretty good overall form the training session today.

First full day of training. A little tired tonight, but good overall.

Have an awesome weekend tri-kids.

Just did my first swim today in over a month since the foot surgery, and felt good to be back in the water. Just nice to enjoy time in my favorite world.

Rest of the day was spent with my parents and the wife. Last day since my parents are leaving tomorow morning. Great time with them for a few days, but glad they finally are leaving back to CA.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday season, as I know that I will be back to training, so will be very happy again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TRI KIDS!!

Well, Christmas is here, and Santa was really good. I got my new Shoes, and also got some new Pedals. Now using the Speedplay Zero's and some Louis Garneau Tri Shoes.  Tried the shoes on, they fitted me way better than my 10 year old Sidi's that I had. Finally, get to start riding since my foot surgery.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas, I'm spending it with my parents. Cheers!!

Parents are in, and ended spending the whole day with them. Had a great time, and just relaxed. Did a few things around town, and did some last minute shoping for the wife and the parents.

Went to the Sushi place with parents, and they loved it. Chef took real good care of us as usual. He always gives us a bunch of free stuff and always something different everytime we go there.

Great day.

Happy Christmas Eve to you all Tri Kids!!

Woke up feeling good. Feel asleep early last night. Parents are arriving sometimes this afternoon, and Linsy got stuck in Denver last night as they went illegal on the flight patterns. Meaning they worked more hours then allowed. So she's scheduled to come home today, and since they violated her day off, she gets to move todays day off to another day before the end of the month. Hopefully, that will extend her weekend.

Oh yeah, when I checked this morning, the small pin-hole in my foot is skabbed, so no swimming, but can start weights, running and some cycling. Except my blisters were caused by my 12 years old cycling shoe, so need some new one before pushing biking again. Don't need any problems again. After much diagnozing, my cycling shoes were the source of the problem at the Ironman AZ in November. They creamated both small toes on my foot, then running the marathon just finished the job. Ah, what do we learn, always have every tools fitting you properly, and don't try to make them last a lifetime. Shoes do have a lifespan people. Control that factor. Shopping time after the holidays.

All right, had lunch with the wife, as she is back in town. Parents arriving early this afternoon, and I have my rough draft training done all the way through August 2009, pending some of the other races and qualifications that I may have. Things looking good. Have my training schedule been reviewed with my coaches so that I can make sure we are on the right track.

Keep up the good work all, and have a Merry Christmas to those leaving early! Cheers!

Checked with doctor at end of day, and allowed to just run. No cycling until new shoes and start swimming Friday. YAhooooo! I'm very excited.

Easy day and just went to work and back home. Realxed. Training schedule has every monday off for me, and felt good to just relax.

Nothing much happened today. Hope you all had an awesome weekend.
