So, what's new

So far living in Philadelphia is going better than I had expected. I've met some very cool people and I haven't had to drive my car at all!!! I walk everywhere, which means I will be in desperate need of a real winter coat before long. My job as Director of Operations for Elite Bicycles is going very well too. It's pretty crazy and I stay real busy. I guess that comes with working for a very small company. I feel like I contribute to the overall success of the company which is something that was lacking in my previous jobs.

On the training side, things are moving along slowly. I've decided to focus on my running this winter. Partly due to wanting to and the fact that thy gym I joined is still finishing their new pool and winter daylight hours and temps make riding not so favorable. I'm going to key on the Caeser Rodney 1/2 Marathon on 3/11 in Wilmington, Deleware. It should be fast and competitive. I'd like to break 1:15:00.

As far as triathlons go, I've lined my schedule up with several duathlons and olympic distance races. I'm going to do a late season half ironman in New Hampshire and end up hopefully with the ITU Long Distance World Duathlon Championships in Richmond.

I'm tentatively thinking of doing the Philadelphia Marathon next Novemeber. It fits well into my schedule, it's fairly flat and fast, and the start is a 10 minute walk from my front door. How can I pass it up?

Later
