I am an Ironman.

Well, not really. Not even close.

Who is crazy enough for those events anyway, good lord!

Great week for me with no injuries and a solid 30 miles of running.  Ran a 16 miler on Monday and felt awesome.  Busted out for 6 by myself, and then met a running friend to finish the final 10 with me and I was cooking her the last couple miles... Ran the whole thing in about 8:06/mi pace which again is still probably too fast for the full marathon but it feels very comfortable when running it.  Training is on schedule and if all goes well I'll be signing up for either the Whidbey Island Marathon or the Nashville RnR (both April events).

Went to the doctor on Thursday because I've been off my blood pressure meds for some time now and decided to have it looked into again.  Didn't get the meds just yet but she heard some "funny" sounds in my right lung.  Huh... I didn't think it was so funny....  Doctor ordered me to do some bloodwork and a couple chest x-rays which found a bit of an infiltrate on my mid/lower right lung.  I've never felt any problems while running so maybe it's just one of those things...  Not getting to negative about it but hopefully it's something that I picked up this winter and it's going away.  I do work around some awfully sick folks.

So, off to Arizona again for a week! I leave tomorrow and can't wait to log a great week of running the mid 70 degree weather! 

Train on!
