Now that I found out someone is actually reading this- or at least has read some posts at one time- maybe I'll be more consistent at writing!

I'm still working out as I feel inspired, nothing structured. Last Friday Justin and I played tennis for the first time in a year. We both played a lot growing up but it has been sparse since college. We were rusty, but surprised ourselves as we would hit some strong, clean shots once in a while.

Saturday was beautiful and sunny, yet crisp and cold. I ran for 67 min in a nice loop that takes me by the Univ. of Washington, over to Greenlake, down to the Burke-Gilman trail along Lake Union, over the University bridge, and home. I had my music on my Nano and enjoyed a great run.

Sunday I hopped on the bike for an hour and then we played tennis again. I was a little sore from tennis on Friday, but still had fun. Hopefully we can play a little more consistently now so the soreness doesn't come back each time and our hands get callused and used to our grips.

I only worked out once since Sunday and that was a trip to the gym on Wednesday after work. I lifted some weights and then swam a bit. I ran into a good triathlon friend, Aaron, who was doing the workout that our master's group had done in the morning. He seems to be training fairly well on the bike and in the pool as he might be doing IM Brazil in May. He is also signed up for IM Canada again, which will be his 3rd time in Penticton. He had an amazing race this past August and hopes to knock off a few more minutes to qualify for IM Hawaii next year.

Today I need to go do something. I slept nearly 11 hours and it felt great. Not sure why I was so tired, but I didn't fight it and luckily, our dog, Jackson, let me sleep.

Time to motivate.
