Another Saturday in Florida

It’s Saturday morning. The weather is unseasonably beautiful… there isn’t a single cloud in the sky. The Clearwater Ironman 70.3 race, a world class event, started about 2 hours ago. Its only about 20 minutes from where I live and I was too lazy to get up and go check it out. Maybe I’ll venture out to the bike route and see atleast a little bit of it.

I plan to do 20 miles on my bike today. I got a new clip-in system put on my bike yesterday and I need to test it out. Plus, the weather is amazing. I should also probably go to the gym since I haven’t been in two weeks.

Next week should be a good one. I only have to go to work for four days and then I’m home in Florida for 10 days straight before having to travel again. I might have to work some of those days from home but it will still be nice to take a break from airplanes for a while. Since April I’ve been traveling to northeast Ohio for work every week. So far it hasn’t been a bad experience but now its getting really cold there. The cold dark days depress me a little.

Running in the evening is often the highlight of my work day. I try to do it everyday but thats not always possible. Sometimes everybody goes out for a few drinks after work and that negates any possibility of a run. Sometimes I’m just dead tired after work. Now that the winter has hit and the days are short… I run in the dark (most of the time).
