Rain and Summertime...

Wait, that's not how it goes...  Unless, of course, you live in the great Pacific Northwest!  After this past week or so of rain and 50s, I am really looking forward to a hopefully dry weekend!


Sorry I have been MIA the past month or so - I sort of took a break from running a lot/working out/etc due to a bunch of life changes (new job, moving, another new job) - but I am back for the summer!


I start my new job (front desk at a sports rehab clinic) on Monday, so I am super excited about that - it will be great to get back into a routine, everyone seems really nice, and I get to work in a field (health/fitness/nutrition) that I am super excited about!  Plus the pay is good, and the schedule is great - four 10s and every Friday off.  Hello four day work week!  


Running-wise, I have a 10K this Saturday (girls' weekend in Portland!!), and my first super sprint tri of the season next Saturday!  I suppose it's time to get into the consistent run/bike/swim pattern - I am hoping to do my first open water swim of the year on Sunday when I get back from Portland, and possibly bike the bike course for the triathlon as well.  It's been so cold this spring/summer so far that the lake temps are all still in the upper 50s...  Brr!  I am really looking forward to getting back into a good solid gym + cardio routine.  My goals for next week are to get in 3 swims, 3 runs, 1 lifting session, and 2 bike rides before the tri.  After that, I am hoping to just build back up some consistency, and figure out the rest of my racing plans from there.  Still thinking of possibly a half Ironman in the fall, or maybe going for a full marathon PR...  we shall see!
