So... in about 7 weeks, I'm signed up to ride a 109 mile bike race. Then, a few weeks after that, I'm signed up for a half marathon. It's about time I get serious and train for these.Currently, I can bike about 50 miles, and run about 5 (not on the same day, of course). Building up the running mileage will be harder for me than the biking mileage so I have been perusing half marathon running schedules like Hal Higdon's, Jeff Galloway's, and various Runner's World plans, but to be honest... I suck at following plans. Maybe I should address that weakness and get better at following plans...
Anyhow, I AM pretty excited about BOTH of these events (both of them pushing my limits, but not TOO much. Er, well. We'll see.)
Meanwhile, I have also been thrilled to pick up quite a bit of illustration work. Oh, and we put our house up for sale... Plenty to keep me occupied and out of trouble. (Hm.. nope, still getting into trouble)
Anyhow.. that's what's up with me lately.
Now, to figure out... do I bike or run today? hmmm.....

Wow, G, after I quit exercising for a few weeks, you post about your awesome endeavors. Good job! Like Chandelle, I'll be rooting for you from my couch.
you'll do it just fine. i know you can.
Hey, there! I've decided to take a break from running for awhile and focus on weight training. I feel great, and will probably pick running up again in the spring. Good luck with your training!
