I know, I know, where have I been.  Well to be frank I've been busy.  Busy with work, busy with life and well busy with work.  I have still bee working out and am now beginning to kick off my serious training for 2010.

Just to recap 2009 was going great until a bike crash at 110 miles.  This was followed by 6 weeks of recovery and then catching a cold which frankly turned into a some nasty virus that hung on until mid January. 

Finally things have turned.  I'm finally feeling like myself again and my training is reflecting that.  I have to admit I was beginning to wonder if I'd get back to that fit feeling well I'm there and frankly I really haven't started the serious stuff yet which has me feeling confident heading into the season.

So what's on the plan for 2010.  A couple half marathons to get the season started and test out my fitness.  My first race of the season will in Kona after a big training week at Ironman 70.3 Hawaii.  Then 3 weeks later I'll be hittig my "A" race at Ironman Coeur d'Alene.  After that I'm considering a trip east to Whirpool Steelhead 70.3 in Michigan, Beaver Lake Sprint and the Grand Columbian Half Iron and with a little luck and hard training a return trip to Kona in October. 

For the time being however it's just one workout at a time.
