Well… it’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays. The cold… the dark… the down and out.

Well, I’m training. Less than seven weeks to go until TRI day.
I bought a heart rate monitor by the suggestion of my brother in law (he is a professional personal trainer). He is “coaching” me. I didn’t really mean for him to coach me. I simply asked for advice and so far, every day since [...]

I went swimming with Tommy last night. I helped him work on his form and I impressed him by swimming more than 50 yards at a time. He swam 50 yards and said “whew, this is hard! I’m tired!” he he.
