I have been reading a Blog about a guy in Canada, who has finished the Ironman four or five time. This guy is hilarious. If you want to have a a great blog to follow here is the site:http://trainingpayne.blogspot.com/ I do not think you will be disappointed.
Well, school is out and I now have more time to devote to the Road To Ironman Blog. The plan is to write a post each day about what went on that day. I want to talk about my life in and out of training and racing. So, hear goes.
Yesterday I finished the third 8 mile run since Sunday. It was 5000 degrees outside yesterday and I lost my man card and went to the YMCA to run on the treadmill. So I get to mile 6 and my nipples are about to bleed they are so raw. I get off the treadmill and put some medicated chaffing cream on them. That made the nipples burn like someone had stuck a match to them. At this point I am standing in the Y with my shirt up over my head blowing on my own nipples. You can imagine the looks I got. I realized what I was doing and quietly returned to the treadmill, finished the run and left as fast as I could. It would not surprise me if they ban me from the building.
The training is going well. I feel like I am getting stronger each week. June will be a busy race month with a race three out of the four weekends. I am pumped to get out there and race again.
On another note, Jorgia and I were approved for adoption. We are both very excited and I must admit I am kinda scared. I have fears that I will be the over protective "my son is the best" dad that I make fun of now. You know the type. The father who thinks his kid is the greatest player on the little league baseball team or thinks his kid will play pro sports when he is still playing Tee ball. As you know I am a high school coach and I see it every year and every year I make fun of those people. It gets so bad for some I actually encourage the behavior by "the out of touch with reality dads". It is entertaining and gives me something to laugh at.
