I have blog? Really??

Okay, so it's been a while. Like 5 months. The same thing happened last year... no posts for the first few months of the year. Not really sure why... I think when it's straight training and no racing, I don't really have much to say (kind of like this post, for example). I have a separate place where I record and analyze all my workouts, so it kind of feels redundant to talk about it here. So I spend most of my blogger-related time lurking on and reading the blogs of other people. Sometimes I don't just lurk... I super-lurk.

Lately I've been reading about the adventures of Eric, Jody, Phil, Danny, and Rachel to name but a few. I've never met any of them and likely never will, but here I am calling them by their first names like we all go waaaay back (sometimes I feel like such a tool). Anyway, the latest addition to my blog-lurking world is Simon Whitfield. Seems like a funny guy, in addition to being an athletic champion. He's recently been hanging out with Jim Cuddy. Jim Cuddy! Actually, that connection would be a great way to get my wife more interested in triathlon, since she's been in love with old Jim for about 20 years... actually proposed to her after a Blue Rodeo concert. Surprised she even remembered who I was after watching him on stage.

Oh yeah, I got married in Mexico a couple months back. So now I have a wife, not a girlfriend. Still feels strange to say it (but in a good way, of course!).

So I'll be back soon with a trio of race reports -- so far a 5k, 10k, and a half marathon. There was supposed to be a duathlon this weekend, but I feel my bike fitness just isn't there, after focusing on training for the half, which was just last weekend. So I might have to go golfing instead. Later!
