Training is coming along nicely. I finally feel as though I am putting in consistent work outs that I look forward to. The weather and pool hours have been cooperative the past few days. Mostly however I am hungry to train.
I have a new long run partner in the neighborhood. This is so important for me to have new runners to run with. They get excited for marathon training. It motivates me. This spring Nichole wants to do the full 26.2 and Sureet(sp?) wants to do a half. I still need to pick a race.
I also have a rehearsal planned for Saturday with a drummer and a bass player. The gigs are starting to mount. Details are still pending for a few, but I am going to be a busy triathlete/folksinger this spring.
The two recent additions are big.
First: is a CD release party at Rocco's on Valentines day.
Second is my debut on the Beachland Ballroom stage. I have played the small room, but not the Ballroom. This will happen on Feb.10(the eve of my 40th birthday). This will be a good show to witness a midlife crises.
On the thought of the impending 40, I have decided not to do the BT50k. I have two reasons for this.
One is the obvious: "does not fit into IM training plan".
The other: has to do with the new age group. I do not want to be 40 prematurely. I am still in my 30's for a month.
The only races I have signed up for are Steelhead 70.3 and IMKY. August seems so far away. I feel I have plenty of time to do some solid base work. This year my biggest training goal is to peak for both of those races instead of for the shamrock or chili bowl as I did last season.

Congrats on the Ballroom gig. I have seen quite a few notable musicians on that stage.
I once heard someone say that they were a gypsy through their 20's to get their midlife crisis out of the way. just sayin.
The "tentative" schedule Rob posted before the clinic has the 20th as the date in January for our session. Hmmmm??
