I have finally figured out how to use blogger. I have figured out how to create links and share more info.
First things first I have created and posted my race schedule for 2008. My "A" race is of course Ironman UK.
another highlight I am looking forward to is the Cleveland Half Marathon for the 30th running of the race. I am shooting for a 1:45. Long shot yes, but I believe I can run this distance in this time. I have been running well. My fitness is strong and my weight continues to drop. I am on pace to weigh 115 by may 20th...that's sick, just kidding. But seriously, I think I can, so I will give it my everything.
It was a fun weekend to sit on the bike trainer. Watching a Browns team that had everyone give up on them give everything they had, over come a two touchdown deficit with the backup QB, force overtime, and win a game that only they had thought they could win was so much fun.
I watched The UCLA Bruins shock the nation by upsetting USC. Now it is the Buckeyes and Gators for the National Championship. To bad Wisconsin doesn't get a shot, they had an amazing season. The big ten was tough......You gotta beat Michigan.
The last week of november was unreal. in the 60' s for 6 days. December came with a lot of wind and took out the power all over Coventry. Friday the whole street went to Lee road while the power company climbed poles. We all met with Dr. Unk. X-Mas Ale is sneaky.
Saturday the Temputares started to drop and now it is very cold. I stood at the bus stop for a long time this evening before and after my pool workout. I was so cold. For a moment I wished I could have been at home. But the strongest urge was to get my workout in.
Greatness is achieved by overcoming adversity, by reaching beyond our limits and always believing in ourselves.
The underdog wins, I swim, and we all could use some long underwear

Wow, 1:45... I'm thinking of shooting for 1:50 at Rite Aid. I feel like I've gotten slower with all this long slow distance running. Sunday will be a test.
I thought that I would hate this weather. But as I look out and see a fresh blanket of snow, I realize that December is one of my very favorite months... oh, and I'll also be in Vegas in two days...
Bummer for the Badgers, but it's not like we aren't used to it. Brand new coach in his 30's this year- Can't ask for a better season than 11-1 with a close loss to Michigan. Watch out next year!

I'll just be happy to run the Cleveland half at this point. Stupid knee! Anyway, good luck with your goals!
I am impressed with your fortitude to stand out in the cold waiting for the bus. It took me an hour to drive into the gym this morning and I thought that made me dedicated until I read your post. You rock!
