Focus...

...things have been going pretty well on the training front for the last 6 weeks or so. I've been averaging 4 days a week of training....whoa, not huge, but a good start to the "prep" phase of my program. I'm just happy I've dropped 7lbs and I can run at more than a fast walking pace without killing myself. Last week I did an impromptu pace workout and ran 7:14 and 7:30 miles at Kensington, which is pretty good for 6hrs of running so far for the year. Once I drop another 8-9lbs I'll be able to cruise at sub 7min pace no problem :) Most of my training has been on the bike so far with a run thrown in for good measure. Still lacking on the upper body front. That will be changing in the near future as I plan to hit the rollerboard a couple times a week and add a rollerski in as well. I'm actually looking forward to getting my upper body back in shape after being away from serious skiing for some time. Getting to 5 races in the 2009 Mich Cup is still the primary goal. I may throw in a couple running races and a few cyclocross races this fall for "fun". We'll see how the rest of the summer goes, but so far so good :)

Think technique....
