No, Really, I am still alive!!


I know, I know, it has been a looooong while since I have blogged. See what happens when you get married!!??
Just kidding. Marriage has been great. Not much different than it was before December, except for when Mary had to figure out the taxes.
Life has been crazy busy, Mary is now working 6 days a week, and of course we are both still training full on.
I have raced a few times in 2010, with lots more to come. I raced the PF Changs 1/2. result was ok with a time of 1:22. we got to meet some great runners. Olympians Ryan Hall & Deena Kastor to name a few.
After that I raced the Londons 1/2 with a little better result of 1:19 (course was short), but finished 2nd overall.
Race # 3 was the Pemberton 50K trail race, I ended up doing as a relay with Kelsey. We smoked the course settinga new course record and winning the overall relay award.
Next of the schedule is the Desert Classic Duathlon( stay tuned on the results). on 2-28-10...
Our next trip will be to Oceanside Cali for the IM 70.3. We love this race, and the location. My favorite place, wish we could live there soooooo bad.
Most importantly though is the upcoming marathon fun. Mary, Katie and I will be toeing the line at the Boston Marathon (Mary & Katie's 1st time), on April 19th. Mary is VERY excited, which makes me very excited for her. We will have a fabulous time in BeanTown, then 6 days later we will follow that up with a trip to Monterrey Cali, to run the BIg Sur 26.2. This may be very interesting.
Keeping the theme of new and crazy things we then leave for the Grand Canyon on May 14th to run the Rim to Rim to Rim or something like that!?
Stay tuned and I will try to do a better job of staying updated, at least until June when the Ironman Training kicks in full force!!!
