8 More Days...

We just got back home from visiting family in NC for the past few days.  We did nothing but eat junk!  I'm pretty sure I finished off a bag of those "Fun Size" 3 Musketeers on my own.  Call it a last hurrah, if you will... but we pigged out.  Zaxby's, Bo Jangles, and even Taco Bell... and these were only what we ate while on the road!  Bacon, eggs, and pancakes for breakfast.  Fried chicken, meaty lasagna, and went out for some General Tso's as well for dinner.  To add to it... I didn't exercise at all.  Overall a very unhealthy visit, but I had fun.

The reality of what we are about to get ourselves into will soon hit us, but not before I hit that Christmas ham!  My wife is starting to try and back out, but this is something I would really like to do.  We also have some friends that live us that were also planning on trying the vegan diet starting New Year's day.  I think having them along for the ride will be very helpful. 

I've started getting my race schedule together and will get it posted on here soon.  I'm going to miss some of my favorite races from last year because I am in an EdS degree class that meets about every four weeks on Saturday up in Tennessee.  The big races right now are a 1/2 Marathon in early March, which also happens to be my busiest month with races.  I have my first Duathon in mid-April.  I am also scheduling my first triathlon for 2011 in early May, which will most likely be before I've had any swim training....that will be interesting.  I'm thinking about doing six sprint to international distance tri's this year and maybe a Half Ironman in September.  My first Marathon is also on the calendar for October 30th, which is near the end of our football season... which means I will have to keep up my running during football... again... should be quite interesting.
