It's been awhile!!

Well, as you can see it's been quite some time since we've last updated our training. Don't worry, we've still been training!! Craig has been doing really great, I had a little bit of a slip up. I've been having some problems with my reoccurring foot problem so I did more cross training for awhile until I saw a doctor. I've got some new inserts and the last few runs have seemed to be going well so I think I'm back!
Overall, Craig has been doing great training. He's been in New Jersey at Fort Dix for the past week and a half and managed to get in a lot of workouts between studying, class, and visiting with friends. We've both been pretty tired lately with the training, up until last week it was a lot of base building, nothing too tough or too long throughout the week. These past two weeks though have been up to 10-13 hour training weeks so it's really starting to add up now.
I'll be deploying in a few days on Monday so we probably won't be able to update the blog for awhile, I don't think we'll have access to the site while we're out at Manas but keep checking back, we may be able to. Craig will try and get one last training update written before he leaves at the end of the month. It'll hopefully be a great time training while we're at Manas, we won't be able to swim at all but we just bought some cases to bring our bike and trainer out so that we can do all our bike workouts in our room on our tri bikes as opposed to the stationary bikes there.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on new. We've been really busy at work and starting our first Masters class (hence the lack of postings) but we're trudging along with the training. It's finally started to warm up around here enough to run outside without the feet of snow in the way, which is nice! We hope things are going great with everyone and we'll keep you updated on our training....and if anyone wants to plan a early summer get away to Spokane around June 22nd we'd love to have some support out here for the Ironman, haha!
