Day after Christmas...

Yo everybody, hope everybody had a good Christmas.

Today i went to gym and did the usual.
Swim...Thinking about it
Bike... TOO DANG COLD!!!
Run... .64 miles in 10 minutes

Weight 287.2

Diet: Coffee for breakfast, mid morning snack and after lunch (with cream and sugar of course) what should we call that...Medium??? Lunch was 6in roasted chicken from subway so we'll call it medium. Dinner... Steak and shake double burger combo. Hmmm... we'll call that medium too :-)

Motivation\Inspiration: [new section] If i have some some nugget of inspiration I will tell you guys also if it's a day where people are being discouraging then i'll share that too. Today my motivation came from my Iron-buddy Byron. He made a crack about my weight gain but it was all in fun. He told me he saw my name on the CDA Ironman list. YUP that's me i said. He told me to let him know anytime i need a training buddy and he'd help me out.

Iron-Byron

I met "iron-byron" at the gym in the pool one day. I gave him a couple of pointers because i was trained by a world class swimmer (stacy). I can swim a mile non-stop in just under 45 minutes. Not bad for a 287.2 pound man. [side note: the largest animal in the world is a whale and they swim all day. so in the water, for endurance, size doesn't matter] Back to the story. The next day i saw him again at a 5:45am spin class and the funny thing was after the spin class we both went to the treadmills. It was at that point i realized he was a triathlete too. We got to know each other a little better while we kept bumping into each other at the gym. He recommended the bike shop that i now call my home...Mad Duck. I'll talk more about Mad Duck at another time but lets just say they make you feel like family there. Anyways, Byron is a really good guy. All 5'2", 125lbs of him :-)

that's it for now
