i was supposed to be in victoria, but, well, here we are......

So this is sort of how all of this year, and most of last has gone.
was supposed to be doing the victoria marathon, um, yesterday (that would be about 10 races i was registered for, and ended up doing the DNS thingie)...but well, i never trained-well not enuff for a marathon, nor a half), and even after changing my registraition to the 1/2, there was no way this was gonna be good, so yet again i bailed..-.i just kept hopeing my head would get scrwed on straight -
it otherwise turned into a good can-con kanadian weekend otherwise , a couple of good runs, a good friday night swim, and a great saturday morning on the mountain bike. so nothing bad, but not what was intended.
so as i've said, and as i figured after finishing IMC in penticton just over a year ago, this was gonna be a year of no races, just trainin' and getting repaired, and having fun. so that's kind of what happened.
okay, well, maybe not always the fun fun fun, but it's been good at times, frustraiting during others, but over all okay. and i'm sort of looking towards 2012.
yep, the great white north triathlon in stony plain in july is something to look forward to, am sorry i missed it this year, but volunteering showed me the other side of that race, and that on it's own was great. i learned a lot, especially that i never wanna volunteer again, it's way too much work.
and i am thinking a spring marathon might be in order, and give me an early goal. they've changed the route for the vancouver marathon in may, and i like how it looks. seriously i have an urge to dig into it again, but no major hills, which, for vancouver seems weird. but it'll be a trip to vancouver, a weekend in vancouver, and though it'll mean lots of running in the cold and snow here in edmonton, i need a goal, a do-able goal, so that may have to be it.
actually the weather is not going to be my biggest hurdle. it'll be my free time to train. with the number one autistic son around the house still searching for work experience and not really sure where he's headed to next, i can sneak out for some runs and rides, and with winter coming i can always spin inside, but my free time away from home will be limited. so the gym, yoga, and swimming will be an issue, that i'll have to work around.
but i guess that's the whole thing about training when i can as i can. i'm seriously not sure how to do this, but, well i'm gonna have to figure it all out......i have no idea how, but i'll just have to find some way around this stuff...oh yeah.and SOON!..like beginning 2morrow!~

onward and upward
