I'm Ba-ack!!!!!!
I am sure all my five readers really missed me, ha!! Anyhoodle, holy cats have I been busy the last week or two. My training class last week was great and I learned a ton. Now I am back in the office and it is insanity!! It serves me right for being out two out of three weeks though. Luckily I prefer being super busy over being bored, so I'll take it!! I am leaving for Phoenix Friday afternoon for the Rock & Roll Half Marathon this Sunday, which I am so excited about!! It should be nice and warm there, I cannot wait. I want to take my bicycle but it seems impractical for such a short trip, I don't really know. I think I will just take my swimming stuff and hopefully find an awesome outdoor Olympic sized pool on Saturday, ha!! Ooh with salt water instead of chlorine, that would be IDEAL. Okay, well I can dream, right?! If anyone knows of a good pool in Phoenix please do let me know.
Training has been going really well this week. For some reason my swimming is great right now. Hopefully I am having a breakthrough that will have permanent speed gains in store for me. Oh that would be awesome. Once again I am daydreaming about my 5 x 100 on the 1:30 pipe dream, I think it is slowly getting closer to becoming a reality. Ha, life is all about perspective - my pipe dream is swimming as fast as a mediocre high school swimmer!! But you know we can't help what our dreams are made of. Other training is going well although it's hard to tell with cycling since I haven't ridden outside for a month! Hopefully this streak of mild weather will continue, the roads will melt, and I will be back in business next weekend. That would be excellent. If not I may have to make another trip to Arizona sometime later this winter!!

Good Luck on your race Barb. Oh, and my pipe dream for swimming is to be as fast as an average 90 year old.
I like that line: "But you know we can't help what our dreams are made of." That's great!!
Have a great weekend!!! :)
