Sabbatical Weeks 1 and 2

The first 2 weeks of my sabbatical did not go quite as planned. I am glad to be relaxing at home but I had a few days of work that I hope will pay off for my career long term. The one real nice thing is that its given me a chance to focus on my health and my new diet from Dr. Krupka. I am feeling much better and I am finally starting to lose weight. I will be traveling around the 10th of July and coming back into town around the end of July. I will be visiting my mom in California and my Dad in New Mexico and will be experiencing much of the country as well. When I start to travel I will provide more updates and photos of my travels.

As for the endurance stuff I am scheduled to do the Vineman Triathlon in July.  At this point I'm not sure if Vineman will happen. I have just recently been released to begin light endurance training in the last 10 days and have not done much yet. I hate to keep missing these races but my health and my injuries are the most important thing. I have so many setbacks that I'm nervous that I will have more if I ramp up my training too quickly. As for furture races I have the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon in September and a Sprint Tri in September that I'm already registered for. I'm not registering for anything else until I'm 100% better. This has been tough becuase there are things I want to sign up for but I just can't until I know I will be able to do the event. As always I'll keep you updated on my future races.

Bye for now!
