Time...?

On Saturday I had a great day it was almost perfect. I got up and went to my swim class. We had a really good workout and my stroke has really improved. Then I came home relaxed a little got into the Word then I went for almost a 3 hour bike ride. I got on some of the trails that are almost clear now. Still some snow but they are looking pretty good, wont be long. By then I hadd made it home before the weather got real ugly so I showered up and finished my book while it rained and relaxed for the afternoon then I went for an evening movie. I was a great day. But I was thinking the whole time... ahh, I have to start working on Monday and be a real working person so i won't get many more of those. :(
Well, as you can see I did start training and haven't even had a moment to get on here and post anything since then. I am having fun though. We have been on the river everyday. Yesterday we did three runs on Clear Creek and I got to get on a guide the bottom part. It went really well for my first time on the stick. they gave us a couple of hours off this morning before we head to Ft collins for the weekend. I will be doing swift Water rescue training. Hope things go well and the weather is warm cause that water is NOT.

Ouch!

Well, I made it. That is all I can say. The marathon did not go as well as I would have liked. It was one of those where within about the first 5 miles I knew that it just was not going to be my day. But I tried to get on pace and hoped that I would just run throuhg it a little and start to feel better... didn't happen. my stomach was hurting most of the way, my calves cramped like crazy and it just kind of hurt. So, I did not get my qualifying time :( Oh, well... I think I like the variety of triathlons better.

I am so sore. yesterday I could hardly walk because my calves are so tight. I definately wasn't this sore the other two times, i don't think. not even after the first one.

Kayaking

I now have already two days on the river this season. We went and ran Fraser canyon on tuesday. It was actually alot of fun even if it did rain on us a little. It was alot more fun than our Saturday run on the Colorado which was mostly flat with a few little rapids. I am enjoying it quite a bit. I don't know that I will be quite as crazy about kayaking as Drew but it is alot of fun. I think as I become more and more confident with my roll it will be even better. I rolled in the river for the first time in Fraser Canyon. I don't know that I would even call it a roll though. I got flipped over because I hit a rock sideways and then as I was upside down I was thinking I needed to roll but instead, because it was pretty shallow I pushed of my hands on the bottom. Ha!

Also, I am running my third marathon on Sunday. Yes, I am running Ft. Collins marathon again. So, today I am trying to do nothing but be lazy. It is actually kind of a perfect day for it because it is all dreary and trying to snow outside. That makes it easier for me to just sit inside and read or watch movies.
Well, my goal is to run a 3:40. So we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.
