Not much to say about this week. Camille counseled me to not go into details about my recovery. Suffice it to say that things are progressing nicely. I plan on resuming my workouts on Monday. Fortunately, I was able to maintain my weight at 180.

My workout week was "cut short" due to vasectomy surgery on Wednesday. I'm now out for probably a week to ten days recovering from this surgery. Actually, the doctor said I should probably not bike for a month! That's crazy though and I expect to be back after a couple weeks. I was able to get in a good swim, a mid-range run, and a very long bike ride (75 miles!)with Marko Zatylny and Jess Hatch, so I'm very pleased with this week's efforts despite losing four days. My body will probably appreciate this mid-season rest, but I hope I don't regress too far. Holding steady at 180 lbs.

A pretty good week of workouts. Felt good about a couple low 33 min/mile swims. Looking to get into the 32 min/mile range shortly. Did a couple mid-range runs; although, my new shoes (Gel Nimbus 11) are causing some blistering when I go above 8 miles. The big news is that I reached another milestone by dropping 2 lbs. this week to 180 lbs. That's exactly 30 lbs lost in 16 weeks! I weighed 175 lbs my senior year of high school and should be able to easily get to that point again.

Still battling some crazy weather (ton of rain) out here, limiting my ability to bike much. Just past the T-300 day mark until IMSG. Feeling good about the foundation I've built and am ready to take it to the next level. Also happy about losing another few lbs. Looking forward to getting into the 170's range. Weather is turning so I hope to have a big next week.
