Well I haven't trained for the past week ( letting the latic acid drain and strained muscles/ligaments rest.) . I've spent the past 7 days trying to get back into being a captialist minon/scholastic slave trying to catch up on the work I "forgot" to do on the flight back home. The jet lag is finally hitting in, I am up until 2 AM most nights for no apparent reason, that and I have suddenly become an email whore, checking it 20 times daily for replies from NZ contacts, USAT rankings in which I was ranked 227th Nationally in the men's 20-24 age group...Boo-yah!, and other random crap. Next week I begin to hit the pool again. I probably won't start running until after Easter, just to give myself an "offseason" so I can begin training for my plethora of halves, with a fresh set of legs and a fresh mind, oh yes and after some weight room time, I figure the Angry Runner's explosive power sets might not be permanent parts of the summer routine, but some harcore training pre-season with general strength training through out should help improve my splits. I have thrown my credit cards on ice until early April so I can re-register for IM NZ 09....also I am avoiding the temptation to upgrade the Bitch Stomper or worse custom build Stomper 2.0 ( I scoped out the Specialized, pro frame and have been comparing componets packages at various shops, one day I will have a real job that pays more than 20k a year and I will be able to throw some cash this way. Either that or I will go pro and get my crap for free.)
I just signed up for RI 70.3 I will most likely throw down on the Patriot in a month, since it probably won't fill until May. My parents have already stated Eagleman will be a family road trip ( There goes my explative filled speech if I qualify for Kona, but on the plus side it will be good to have a massive cheering section, consider my sisters,Mike, Parents, the Schultz's ( Pete and Bill not Ken's family unless of course you want to come down Ken I would welcome it.)Team Zoot GU ,HEAT , Team Blazeman, my fellow bloggers and the random people I meet along the way.
So for now I am going crazy with the free time that my limited to non-existent training has opened up.
About the Blogger Reunion in Jan. I don't know if I'll make it, granted I will have limited classes because if all goes well I will be done with a majority of my classes, this and next semester. So I'll just be finishing the minor, and possibly a lab., but I am also planning on two weeks in the land of the Kiwis come March, I figure on my second go round I want to explore a little bit more of the country..we'll see.
Well it's now about 4AM stupid Daylight savings time, I've gone on a little too much for one day.
I'll probably sleep in tomorrow ( and go to Late Mass, the joy of being Catholic in Lent.)
Trying to get back to the grind.

ohhhh...jet lag sucks. Good to see you are taking some down time before getting back into the swing of it all.
Thinking about NZ (again) in '09? When I find the 12-step program, and finish it myself, I'll give you the number...
Sorry to hear about the jet lag, but that around-the-world trip defines jet lag. Anyway, good luck, and glad to hear somebody's credit card is on ice! Mine's not, I'll be joining you in zero credit card debt by mid-year...
