New Gadgets

I ran out to the local bike store yesterday and purchased a set of lights for my bike. Now they are supposed to last around 60 hours on a set of AAA batteries. I haven't tested them out yet and I'll be sure to get back on here and let you know how it works out.

So why did I go out ant buy the latest "thing" for my bike - when I haven't really been that into riding in the past year? I'm back into it and plan on commuting to work at least twice a week. The bonus...from my home to office is only about 10 miles.

On another note I have been back in the gym and have started a dedicated running program. Or as much as I can on a mending ankle.

I surfed Fours this past weekend - it was the first time I've been on my board in about a year. So for the past few days my back and shoulders have been sore as all get out. But I loved every minute of it and all of the aches and pains have been worth it. I plan on getting in another session this coming weekend but, I haven't decided on the location yet. Any suggestions?

I know it has been almost two months since my last post. I'm lame for it. Let's just say that this year has been pretty much a wash for both the racing and blogging world.

And maybe that is the problem - I have not raced once this year...and have had no goals.

So what do I do now? What is my next step? My ankle is still to messed up to seriously train for the Honolulu Marathon and the race season here in Hawaii doesn't really start until March. Do I just keep slogging through the days trying to find time to get a run or a swim in?

My answer for right now is yes.
