It has been a solid 3 months since I have done much structured training for triathlons and other such endurance races and I am feeling the itch to crank it up again.  During August, I was completely stuck in a rut after a hard spring and summer of racing along with getting the new Exygon Health and Fitness club kicked off.  We are getting close to opening, time is very tight, but I have more help now and it is time to make more time for myself.  September and October was spent doing intense CrossFit workouts at 5:30am 6 days of the week along with commuting by bike or foot to and from workouts and work.  I was just having a great time pushing some weight around!

I am feeling quite fit right now, but I am ready to feel SUPER FIT as I did back in May, June, and July.  Hence, it is time to start running and putting some heavy miles in on the bike.  I would also like to have a strong showing at several races next spring (Gusher Marathon, and Lone Star Triathlon).  I am also feeling a strong longing to get back outside and explore.  There is simply something amazing about a 2-4hr solo ride or 1-2hr solo run!

So I was browing around some Google blogs earlier today… learning about all the exciting things in the land of Goog… when I saw a post about their support of a guy that is rowing around the world.

Again… thats… ROWING AROUND THE WORLD.

Not only is it some cool technology and an amazing challenge but it is pretty inspiring.

Go check out the site and his blog… the map is pretty cool. Apparently the weather was so bad he was going backwards or in circles for several days.
