I have been biking a bit. Trying to get the biking mileage up a bit. Went 18.2 miles today. A good time! The quads are less sore after each ride...that is a good sign.

I have been eating oatmeal a lot. It is good. Today I made some really good oatmeal. You probably won't think it is good. Here it is:
1) Old Fashioned Oatmeal made with milk.
2) Throw in some cinnamon. A lot of it. It is a good anti-oxidant.
3) Throw in some nutmeg. However much you want.
4) Throw in a teaspoon or so of Gatorade powder.
5) Throw in some kind of juice.
6) Throw in some walnuts or something like that.
7) Stir it all together.
This may not sound good, but it actually is. Try it! Yum yum!

This stuff about biking, it is because I want to do a triathlon. I actually found one that looks spectacular, plus it is really close to where I will be going to school.
It is actually a half-iron man distance, which means that I will need to prepare myself for a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run. Right now, the bike is all I am worried about. I am confident that within a month of swimming I can do the 1.2 regularly.
I need to get some speed up, too. Today I ran 6 miles, and threw in a 6:41 mile...it was sort of hard to stay at that pace...

It is all good here in Hawaii. Anton and I went to the beach yesterday...an AWESOME time! There was some kind of Navy band picnic going on, so there was a TON of FREE FOOD! When dressing a bun and looking for meat to put on it, I found VEGGIE BURGERS! I really like veggie burgers, and I am trying to eat extra healthy, so I got one of those bad boys. It was amazing! Plus I had some chips...and then 4 servings of various desserts...I hadn't had anything sweet for a while, so the dessert was needed in large amounts.

That is all for now. Stay classy.

Stay classy. HA!
It's sweet that you're having a great time in Hawaii (or is it ON Hawaii?) with Anton.
When is the half iron-man?
Have you thought about doing a miniature triathlon just to work out all the switching-gear sort of kinks?
Have you done any altitude training way up at 10,000 feet? What is the terrain like there? Do you run lots of hills?
Your snack sounds tasty. The gatorade powder kind of threw me, though. I might have to try it just because it's weird.
A half iron-man? That sounds like a decent goal. Have you done other, shorter triathlons? I worked a water station at one once. I don't think that counts.
