Weekly Wrapup

Whoops, I've been neglecting my blog. Tsk tsk. I'm such a bad blog owner. Please don't report me to the SPCB!

It's been good getting back into the swing of things with training again. I added a couple pounds while I was on the couch. I'm not going to focus on that though. I will focus on continuing to eat right, stay hydrated, and train right. As far as training goes, my running is pretty stellar. I'm actually at or ahead of where I was at the end of last season already. Biking is down a bit, but that'll come back quick. Swimming is where I feel the biggest work is ahead of me. I feel like a slug in the water.

In other news, my brother is home from Iraq! Only for 10 days, but hey, it's the little things. He's currently back in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. Just in time for Thanksgiving and my newest nephew's first birthday. I'm playing the part of the spoiling uncle very well, from what I hear. I see it as my duty though, so I'm just doing my part.

Only one week until Thanksgiving! I need to start getting serious about preparing the menu if I want to make good on my plans to whip up a nice feast. I'm spending this one at home, instead of going to visit my parents. My Dad found out he has prostate cancer earlier this year, and he's going in for surgery to treat it on Tuesday. He will still be recovering from that over Thanksgiving, so my parents are just having a low-key holiday this year. Before anyone gets too worried, his prognosis is very good, as it was caught very early, and the surgery for it has a very high success rate. I'm heading out there for Christmas, and he plans to be back and healthy enough by then to able to go skiing.
