Geez Buddy…Where ya been? August 23, 2008
Posted by anton in : Life , 1 comment so farWell, first there was this class I took…Anatomy and Physiology II (Or as another student put it…Anatomy and Brutality.) Six weeks, four nights a week. Got a “B.” It was hard….just the volume of information that I had to hold on to and then regurgitate for the exams was. …well it kept me busy. Not as busy as I’ll be if I get into Nursing school but then ,that will be my only focus.
On top of that I’ve been training for the 24 Hours of Booty, a fund raiser for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Ullman Cancer fund. A 24 hour bike ride on a closed loop course…should be fun. No expectations about how far I’ll go , but I’d like to keep moving as much as possible for the 24. I met my monetary goals for the race , raising over 500 bucks.
Training for this has been interesting…some weeks of over 230 miles on the bike and then more running. Moving at a laid back (15mph) clip shouldn’t be too taxing…but we’ll see how long the crotch holds out.
School starts this week..so that will eat into more time…
On the horizon: A-10 tomorrow, Booty in two weeks, Seagull Century in October and the JFK 50 miler in November…may try to do something else this fall also. That depends on how much Booty sets me back.
After the JFK, a speed work ramp up for the Goofy Challenge and then a few weeks off before starting the Ironman Lake Placid training cycle.
Yeah, I know I said I’d never do it again but…I guess It’s my IM…Just can’t see myself on another course. You can take the boy out of the hills, but you can’t take the hills out of the boy.
