En route to San Diego

It has been an exhausting few weeks.  Since Muncie, I went into my 5 week key block in the build for the Ironman.  This included basically all the workouts I listed in the last entry plus many more shorter efforts.  I successfully worked my way through the checklist while also completing my summer grad school classes and working full time.  I cannot remember a period in my life when I’ve been more consistently tired.  Granted, I’m only 25 and been in the workforce for 3 years or so…I’m sure this is just the beginning of lifelong exhaustion.  Either way, as of this past Sunday, I have reached the Ironman taper.  This is somewhat a relief and at the same time terrifying.

To celebrate being in a taper, the wife and I decided it’s time for a vacation.  Well, to be honest, she has a psychology conference to attend for a few hours Thursday and Friday and it looked like something we could spin into a vacation…so we are on our way to San Diego, flying as I type this.  Yay for the APA for planning their convention in a city I’ve always dreamed of visiting.  As with other vacations, I plan on documenting the activities here, so my blog may actually be active over the next few days.  Even more exciting, the wife has a new fancy camera to support her budding photography hobby (she also has a photography blog and a cooking blog worth checking out), so there should be plenty of pictures to support my rambling narratives.  Anyways, I guess this post is more of an intro to the vacation report upcoming and a quick update…Day 1 recap should be on the way soon.

Added before posting…our hotel the first morning.  I think I’m going to like it here.
