Christmas Break

I'm still on Christmas break from school, and for the past week I've been on break from working out as well. I read somewhere that you can start to lose your cardiac capacity in 7-10 consecutive days of not working out. I've reached that number and am now thinking about new goals for 2010 to keep me moving.

I know that I want to do another Sprint Tri, I'm looking at two possible races in March. One is in Lake Havasu and supposedly has a killer bike ride, even in the Sprint category. The other race (on the same day I think) is just south of Havasu, near to where my first race was. I haven't read up on it yet but a fellow boot camper was telling me about it a couple of weeks ago. If I only had a bike! For some reason Santa didn't bring me one. :(

I know that in April, De wants us to run in Pat's Run for the Pat Tillman foundation. It's a good cause and it seems to be very well organized. The finish line for the race is the 42-yard line inside of the ASU football stadium. I hope they play the Rocky theme song for that!

May brings a Sprint Tri to Tempe, just down the road really. I would like to compete in this race but everyone says there are dead bodies in Tempe Town Lake. I'm not sure, but I'm not a strong swimmer. I have a tendency to swallow water, and I don't feel like drinking dead-body soup.
