Update. Well, since my last post, training became VERY sporadic for a variety of reasons . . . weather, work, motivation, health . . . . regardless, I've started up again today with a short, easy bike ride. I did an easy 16.5-mile ride this afternoon. The wind was pretty rough, gusting up and over 15 mph. It was a nice ride and a good way to get back into training, especially after last week's week-long flu. I'll be doing a brick tomorrow at lunch -- 20-mile ride and 5-mile run. Wednesday is swim night with Texas Iron, and Thursday is a lunchtime 45-minute run followed by the Texas Iron spin class after work. Friday will probably be an off-day because of work issues. Saturday I plan to start up with the ATC Taco ride again and a nice long run on Sunday.

So . . . I'm back into it! Unfortunately, if my trial goes next week, I'll have quite a bit of "rest" days. Maybe I'll make it a run week and focus on getting some amount of running done each day. Haven't figured it out yet.

Anyway . . . those are the plans. We'll see how it all shakes out!
