Training season is off and running! (literally)  This past week I have hopped back on the bike and breaking in the new shoes which I love so far!  I didn't realize how much I missed working out until I was doing it this past week.  I will confess that I am starting off then I did last year but I figured that since I am starting earlier I have the ability to start out a little slower and ease my body back into all the training.

My runs have been fairly short and incredibly slow!  That would be the one thing that is really bothering my right now.  Then again, I have to remind myself that I will start out being out of shape and that it will take a little time to get back into it.  My runs consisted of an easy rolling hills run on Monday, a Fartlek run on Wednesday, and today will be a long aerobic run with maybe some rolling hills.

A lot of changes have happend with regards to my bike.  I have dropped the handle bars/aerobars about 1.5", raised the seat post a few centimeters and I've noticed a huge difference in my positioning.  It's not the perfect aero position but it is certainly an upgrade from how I was positioned at Racine.  It will take some getting used to but I think it will help me with overall speed down the road.  I'm hoping to get a long bike ride in either Saturday or Sunday, depending on when I will have time and the weather.

That's the major update for right now, hopefully I'll have a few more interesting updates to give next week!
