November closes

Well all done! Now I have to get back into training...

Ended up swimming 43.3km this month, but bike/run were scarce. Time to pick it up.

Swim meet starts on Fri, once that is over I need to focus on running to prep for the HM in Jan.

Just under 3 weeks till MAUI!!!

Getting back on the running bandwagon...

I was sitting around this morning debating if I wanted to go run or not...then decided that it was probably a good decision to get my legs back in business given the fact that I have a HM in like 7 weeks...maybe? You know, just putting it out there.

Ran 8.5km or so...didn't feel half bad and it wasn't freezing outside!! Yay! Swim meet this upcoming weekend so I won't be really starting back up until that is done...Got to get that mileage up! Haha.

3 weeks till I leave for Maui!

Picture I took while running...Ya...I'm pretty much the world's greatest photographer...

Another winter run...I promise I won't keep on titling things a "another, another winter run".

Well...another one bites the dust. I attempted to make a video of a portion and failed miserabley...haha...I will have to try again another time!

-15C/6F...boooo

A winter run

Well I got all dressed up for the first time...double socks, double pants, double jacket..gloves, ninjaclava...the whole shebang.

I'm glad I bought trail runners in October in San Fran. Even the military trails wern't really plowed..so there were some areas of about 10cm of snow.

It was -19C. Brrr...This is my awkward post run picture! Haha

Inner Ear Infection: GONE!!! Woo!

Well I was back in the water today! Felt a bit off not being in the water for over a week, but what are you going to do.

Did a police ride along on Sat night-It was AWESOME! But I was pretty beat all yesterday and didn't end up getting a good sleep at the end of it all because my Dad decided to move furnature and vaccuum at 9am after I didn't get home until 4am due to the ride along...thanks Dad. Last night I just couldn't fall asleep and then stressed myself out about not sleeping...so ya...

Selected meet events for JP Fiset in a few weeks here in Edmonton. 50fr, 50bk, 50fly, 100bk, 200IM, 200fr, 200back...yaaa...we will see how this goes...haha

I cleaned up my room in my attempt to become super duper time management prostar...started the bike room, but that was a bit to much to do in one day...so that got bumped to next weekend. Bike room/office organisation...

Got most of my IM planning done...still a bit to go and then a final read over...it's a bit scary to think about 5hr rides and crazy runs...and just the whole IM thing in general...haha.

Well that is my random update.

First run since the marathon...and other select adventures of Nov 2010.

So I went for a run yesterday...looks like I only actually gave it 3 weeks...vs. the original 6 weeks I was planning...*sigh...why am I such a tri-hard? I actually couldn't take it anymore and not be running...ok...well that's not completely true...Story time:

So last Sunday...I was studying (replace studying with...IM planning) and I started to feel funny...kind of spaced out. Well...by suppertime I was nauseated and the world was spinning. Yay inner ear infection...so for the past week I haven't been able to walk and turn my head side to side without getting dizzy...so I decided to scratch myself from the swim meet this weekend because I haven't swam all week and probably shouldn't race given that circumstance. So yesterday I was feeling like a SUPER LAZY BLOB and decided to try a short run. It was 7C out and I couldn't pass that up...right?

Ran just over 5km with a pretty decent pace. No bum hurting...no real pain. So I'm going to take it "easy" over the next 2 weeks and build up slowly into HM restart training plan for Jan 23. So I have to integrate that into my IM planning...it will eventually get done...

What else am I up to...I'm making a dress for Fall Ball. Well I am altering a dress for Fall Ball and make a belt...because I am talented...

So far I don't think any other adventures have occurred this month...I'm sure some will though.

November November!
