I am still here

I have been on vacation, but don't worry I am still working at losing weight and getting in better shape. I will admit that I ate like a salve just released from indentured while in Florida. I have key lime pie, I had steak, I had hamburgers and fries, I had shrimp by the pound, and that was just the first day. Kim and I took our bikes and we rode a couple of days and ran another day, so I tried to stay in the habit of working out, but it is tough with a 2 year old on vacation to find time to do stuff alone. But all it all it went well and now I am back and hitting it hard again. As is my tradition when I have been gone I don't weigh the week I get back as not to be depressed, but I did sneak a peak today and things could be worse, so 299 is still in the near future.

Here are a couple of other things in the near future. Coming up on June 24 I will be doing the 17 mile bike and 3 mile run portion of the Jonesboro Triathlon. My friend and neighbor Jason will be doing the swim portion and together we will try not to come in dead last. There is pride on the line between another of his co-workers and a freind,they are both real skinny, I think Jason and I are getting 5 seconds a pound. I think I have decided not to do the tri in Forest City that I was going to do for my first official triathlon and do my first with Jason in Septmeber in Conway. I have not made up my mind for sure not to do Forest City, but I do want to do Conway with Jason, and we could train together for it and all that good stuff.

This morning Jason and I biked the 17 mile course for the tri here in town and it is HILLY, I think they are trying to kill somebody, I just hope it's not me.
