Boy, I'm not too good at updating my blog lately!
What's new? Well, I have not been doing too much. Swimming a bit and a few runs and a bike or two per week. It's been nice, although I think it's time to step it up a bit. However, I will be without a sitter for Shannon for the next week or so. So I'll have to manage some basement bike rides.
I was surfing today and went to see what was new at the Muskoka 70.3 site. They've posted a teaser video of the race and they're saying it might be "the world’s toughest Ironman 70.3 course". It will be airing on TSN Dec. 6th at 1pm MST. I will be watching every second of it. :)

Update
Wow, I haven't updated my blog in a while. :)
Hmmm, what's new? I purchased a new trainer from Bow Cycle. It's a mag, rather than a fluid. It'll take some getting used to, but I think it might be better. This one has controls that better simulate hill climbing. My now broken fluid trainer did not. So hey, maybe it's a good thing it broke. :) Well, except for the money to replace it!
I've been swimming up to three times a week and trying for three runs. The cycling has been more like once or twice. But I've been doing weights every day or two. And core at least three to five times a week. Oh and a hike or two with my family. Now I need to fit in some yoga. :) I'm finding it hard to run alone at night now as it's so dark. I think I'm going to start running at lunch again. I need to get some sunlight time.
I think I'm ready for Greg's schedule soon. It's much harder to keep up the workouts alone. lol I tend to miss a few, especially on the bike!
As for the coming season, I think I'd like to do a couple of running races. I was considering the "Around the Bay, 30 K" race in Hamilton as I think we'll be in Toronto then. It's such a great race, pretty challenging. There are a few big hills in the last 10-12K. It's the oldest road race in North America, a few years older than Boston. I am also considering the Calgary half-marathon. My daughter would like to do the kid's marathon. So that would be lots of fun. It's such a great idea! The kids run 41 KM in small increments during the six weeks leading up to the race. Their longest single run is 3 KM. Then at 9:30am on race day, they start at the 41 KM point in the marathon and complete the last 1.2 K. They get a medal, t-shirt, the whole thing. :)
