Still battling a bit of a cold. Ran outside this morning, since the treadmill is still broken. I called yesterday about the part, and they're supposed to call me back within the next 48 hours with a price. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
My legs don't really like the cold air. I've been running with tights on alot, and this morning I didn't. It wasn't the best run I've had, but I guess even though I'm not THAT sick, I can blame the leftover sickness for some of that.
Run, about 3 miles, 33:32, 137bpm, 475 cals. (with cotton in my ear.)
Welcome to my Ironman training blog. My goal is to transform myself from 2 time defending "DONUT DERBY" champion to finisher at IRONMAN Lake Placid 2010.

About Me
Hi. My name is Joe Skelly and I want to be an IRONMAN. Yes, easier said than done, I know...considering that my greatest athletic feat to date is winning the Lehigh Valley Wheelmen's annual DONUT DERBY 2x in a row. Really. Check this out: watch! Now, to defend myself a bit, it takes quite a bit of technique and stamina to win this event. After all, its not that easy to ride 36 miles AND house 28 donuts in less than 2:15. What? Yes, of course I realize that none of this will matter during my training for the IRONMAN USA race in Lake Placid, NY next summer. (Unless, of course, we can substitute the 28 donuts for the "other" 76 miles of hilly terrain) I seriously doubt that, though.So, I'm in. I went to the 2009 race as a volunteer. I saw a friend of mine accomplish his dream of becoming an Ironman. It was an amazing experience, and definitely one that I think everyone should see at some point in their life. The things you see in that last hour alone are worth the trip.So...I used my volunteer T-shirt to get me into the preferred registration line for the 2010 event...I paid my $550 registration fee...and I began my journey towards this dream of mine.My goal is only to finish. Anything more is gravy. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me. But...I THINK I'm ready.
