Bigun the Slacker is no more. The big guy is officially working 2 jobs now with my first night as a Professional Tax Preparer with HR Block successfully completed. Knocked out 3 returns, no errors, and called it a night at 9pm.
I'm also on the cusp of an epic training week. If all goes as planned, barring injury or emergency, I'll have my best swim and run volume training week, and pretty darn close for the bike too. So far, my best swim week was 9k yards, my best bike week was 180 miles, and my best run week was 35 miles. None of these occured in the same week, of course.
On that note, I did notice an awesome jump in run fitness this week. Significantly lowered pace over 6 miles at my "high base" running HR of 143. It's a great feeling to see some results without actually racing. Dropping to 10:15 per mile felt great; makes high 9's at a 140HR seem possible now.
We've been working on Episode 2 of the podcast, and with any luck and some free time, we'll have that published on Monday. Again, it's fun, but a lot of work. Hats off to you consistent podcasters out there.
The Evolution is making waves through Blogdom - it's pretty exciting that "they" are selecting 3 new team members.
So that's all I got for now - a bunch of half ideas and partial statements. Weird that all I have time for right now is a soundbite or two. All this training has me thinking of cool post-worthy and podcast-worthy stuff - and then by the time I sit, half of it is forgotten. Sucks getting old. Old, but still able to kick Johnny Tri's ass.

No matter how busy life gets there is always time for a little smack talkin'
Good luck with your 'epic training week' ... looking forward to Episode 2 of the podcast :)
So have you figured out a way yet to write off triathlon expenditures? Any creative accounting methods you can share?
Whose behind the times????

OK, last years income = $10,000. Last year's triathlon expenses = $12,000. Any tax relief in sight for me?
Good accomplishments!
