Training for Boston

Well last year at this time I blogged about starting to train to qualify for boston. this year I start my training to run boston. I'm excited to see where my training takes me this year. I am upping my miles from 50 a week. to 50-70 a week. so it's gonna be pretty intense. Also I'm about 3 weeks into learning to swim. I plan on doing a number of tri's next year as well. with the ultimate goal of doing an ironman the following year. I have a long ways to go with swimming. But i'm making slow progress. I think the cross training of swimming and biking will help my running as well. So it's going to be a busy winter of training. but i'm looking forward to it. I just can't get that st george ironman billboard out of my head with the caption "Defy Yourself" I believe i've already defied myself with the marathon and the 50 miler. But that's the good thing about dreams. If you accomplish it it's time to make a new one.

Here is my swimming ability right now. Hopefully it gets better.
