i hired a coach this week.  i should have warned you…i hope you were sitting down!  Matt Russ with The Sports Factory (http://www.thesportfactory.com/site/index.shtml) here in ATL, GA is dragging me kicking and screaming into the 21st century.  it hasn’t been so bad, but this past week, i had to run on a treadmill (i hadn’t in 2 – 3 years…maybe more), try to upload my powertap data (more fighting with software, macs and my power tap), and learn to work a Garmin.  apparently, my description – it was a ‘hard run’ and my HR max @ 172 – doesn’t help him have a real understanding of the workout.

it’s been good for me though.  it’ll be a good relationship, and i am relieved to ‘just do’ vs. my own scattered planning that i tend to do for myself.  this approach is much more purpose driven.

lots going on these days, and it is welcomed work, lots of swimming, some triathlon consulting, some speaking, etc.  i am thankful to be busy, happy healthy, and able to pay my bills!  keep it coming…  :)

this coming week, i have family stuff going on…my little sister turns 24.  momma is turning 50!  so this coming weekend, we’ll have some quality family time!  a handful or surprises and pictures to follow…
