Laugh time...before the work begins

I took the plunge!

Today I signed up for a training plan from "Mark Allen Online". It officially starts next Monday.

It wasn't cheap, but I figured if I want to do well, I need experienced coaching and a plan on what to do and when to do it. The reason I chose this coaching service over the others was:

a. Mark knows what he is talking about as he has won Ironman Hawaii 6 times.
b. The amount of age group athlete's he coached that came either 1st or 2nd in their groups at Ironman Hawaii was amazing.
c. Before signing up, they were great in getting back to me with answers to my questions.
d. If I miss workouts, they will re-adjust future workouts to make up for the missed workouts.
e If I add races, they will re-adjust the plan to allow them to fit into my training plan.
f. I've met and spent time with Mark Allen in the past and found him to be a decent guy.

The first plan is specifically tailored for my 1/2 Ironman Florida in May. Then after a couple weeks rest, my next plan will be specifically tailored for Ironman Louisville in August.

The start date of the plan is this coming Monday. I'm real curious to see how well it works and how I'm going to feel.

Tonight, Alice and I are going to watch comedian Lisa Lampanelli at Hamilton Place. She's a regular on the Howard Stern Show, she's very raw and funny. Lot's of guy humor. It's been a while since we've seen a good comedian, so I hope she doesn't disappoint.
