Wah. I gotta get some new pics in my flickr stream.

Anyway, just a little update. My girls are back home, and it's been nice to get the chaos back. While they were gone, I realised how much I miss the noises and just plane craziness when they're around.

So far so good with the training schedule, I should be ready to slowly ramp up my running starting next week. Hopefully I can get some running shoes this weekend. I also gotta fix my bike. I bent one of my gears a few years ago. Don't shift in the middle of a climb, that's bad. My swimming will also start next week as well.

The warmaster challenge is this weekend in Waterloo, so I'm going to try and hang out for a couple of hours with the guys from Windsor that are participating. Should be fun.

All in all, it looks like it will be a busy weekend.

Later

Boo!


I'm still here.

Ok, now that I've got that taken care of. It's been a pretty crazy... month? Work, family and hobbies have been keeping me out of trouble.

As an overview, I started painting my warmachine models, Kara Sloan is an awesome fig. I'm just about done, I just need to work on my highlights and base. Once my wife comes back home with the camera, I'll post and updated pic.

Curling season has gone into play offs, and we're doing pretty good. This year I've been really working on hitting the bloom and coming out of the hack clean, and it's shows. I'm been playing really good. I also found that I can't were leather curling gloves. Blister, Aarrggg!

The girls are up north for the beginning of this week. The house is way too quiet, I don't like it. I guess I need a little chaos in my day after all. ;) I'm looking forward to there return Wednesday.

And finally, today is my first day of training. I've made the decision that I am going to participate in the Milton Ontario Try-A-Tri event June 6th, 2010. I plan to "participate" not win or even compete. Just finish! I want to end the triathlon season with at least one full triathlon event. I've started with my diet to lose some weight and my running/walking started today. I hope to walk every day and run/walk 3 times a week. Bike 1/2 times a week and hit the pool for lane swimming no less than twice a week. It all starts with one. The time change this last weekend screwed me up, but I am going to walk tonight after my curling game. As for my diet, I'm cutting fried food, soda drinks and I'm also going to increase my water consumption and decrease my caloric intake. (That almost sounded like i knew what I was talking about)

Anyway, I hope to log all of this, so lets see if I can keep typing to help out in my personal health goal.

Cheers
