Lots to come in 2013

For now, I have one race under my belt, the 3M.  Altough I did not obtain the result I wanted in time, I was happy with my performance and my race.  I missed my Goal by 11 seconds and know what i did and what I have to do on my next race.
I started the race with the much slower folks in the back and I did not kick until a little too late.  Good news is, nutrition has been good and I felt good.  There are many things to come Livestrong.  This will be a good year for my races, I plan on improving dramatically, and setting many PR's.
2013 will be my first half Ironman and I can not wait.
Today is day one of my 70.3 training.  Today, i will be on the bike for 1:45 minutes and will be working on elevating and bringing down my HR.  Being that is cold, it is all trainer.


Onward.

And the road continues

Training has been coming along nicely and a PR should be an attainable Goal for the 3M half Marathon next Sunday.  Really looking forward to this race, and now it is a matter of mind over matter. 
Diet has been good, and training has been solid.  One of the things I have learned is how to stretch better and make my hips stronger which has opened up my legs and allows me to run faster and be more efficient.  iN addition, doing hill work has helped out tremendously.
Lastly, the lbs that have been coming off has been great, I can really feel a difference as I begin to trade in fat for muscle and have shaved off a good amount of lbs.
I feel so fortunate to have started training with my coach, Blake and Moxie Multisport.  I have learned a lot from Coach, and he has held me accountable for all my training and diet.
2013 is going to be my year to surpass my goals, and do things I have never done before.  April will mark the first 70.3 Ironman, and am really looking forward to it.
Here is to 2013, and to my upcoming goals:
3M Half
Austin Livestrong
Galveston 70.3
MS150
Cap 10K
Pflugerville Triathlon

San Antonio Marathon
