Tax season and small changes

Tax season makes me remember my college time counting small change to plan my meals. I'm not getting any tax returns, and I have committed a good amount of money in race registrations and hotel reservations (airfares still to come). I'm getting very good on rushing hotel reservations to save my legs and sleep for nice race starts. 

Two weeks ago I stayed at the Waterfront Beach Resort (http://www.waterfrontresort.com) for the Surf City Marathon, and I just had to literally come down the stairs for the race start. At least in my age and fitness status this really matters for a good race. 

I'm still working to make 2015 a very good year. Writing the blog is one of my resolutions. 

No one's ever achieved financial fitness with a January resolution that's abandoned by February.

Everything is good at the war front

Today I attended a lecture about daily writing making the good writer, so I felt compelled to come back to my blog.

Everything is good at the war front, as I am getting busy at work, but saving time for training. In fact, I just managed two weeks ago at Surf City Marathon to improve my marathon time to the best in the last two years (4:52:51), not much, but encouraging enough. With this year's race I became a legacy runner, and I plan to attend to this race every year. 

I am following a training plan through the Mountain Athletics app to be able to run ultramarathons comfortably, if that is possible. At least, I feel stronger and more confident. I will run the double marathon in San Francisco as one of my main challenges of 2015.

I will tell you later about my planned three Full Ironman and one Half Ironman races I have on the schedule this year.

In summary, 2015 will be a blessed year.


Energy and persistence conquer all things.
