It’s been nearly 3wks since we moved to SF and forever since I’ve posted. Despite a few hiccups along the way we’re slowly settling into our new spot, projects are coming to a close and we got a puppy last night…so all in all…things are good.

Yikes - where is the summer going! Moving, projects, parties…and very little training. June came and went…July is upon us and things are heating up. Keeping it all straight has become a full-time gig with applicatioin launch dates in mid-July, moving on 7/31, biz trips and another 2 application launches in mid-August…so much for ‘lazy days of summer’!

After what started out to be a fantastic start to the triathlon season, I’m beginning to wonder whether I’m going to hit my races this year. Plagued by a strained hamstring and entirely too much ‘life stuff’, I can’t seem to keep my training consistent. The Hy-Vee Triathlon is a month away and while I think I could probably pull it off with a minimal amount of training, I’m concerned that I may end up sitting the rest of the season out and potentially miss Ironman Wisconsin.

On the other hand, maybe it’s for the best with everything else that’s going on…

• Heading to St. Louis in a couple weeks for a USAT Coach Level 1 clinic which will result in being a certified triathlon coach
• Rina and I will be in San Francisco next month finalizing living arrangements, so that we can get the hell outta Chicago
• Starting in June, I’ll be working on a special personal project (again, more on that later)

Ok, I think I left off around week 7 with a few aches that just wouldn’t go away…so now it’s week 12 and I have been recovering for what seems like forever. A finicky hamstring that wont stop flaring up and a new project that has got me so geeked out I can’t hardly wait to unleash it on the world (launching in Q4). Oddly enough the hamstring is only acting up when I ride/run, so I’ve been doing Kettle Bells and swimming here and there. Rina and I were in SF for the weekend which sealed the deall…we’ll be relocating before October (I had to pry Rina from the Golden Gate Bridge. Looks like we’ll head out again in a month or two in order to find an apt. which should be entertaining. Good things…
