Ah the training...

So over the past couple of weeks, I've lost a little poundage which is nice, but there is definitely still more to go. Due to the lack of training that happened, Josh and I won't be doing the tri in July. Instead we have found one in mid-Sept. So I would like to complete at least one Sprint Tri, which is .5 mile swim, 13 mile bike and 3.2 mile run. If there is more than one available, I'd like to do them also, so I can continue to improve. But then I would like to move up to the Olympic distance by Sept of '10, 1/2 Ironman by Sept '11 and finally a full Ironman distance by Sept '12. I figure I'd better have some specific short term goals, but also some general long term goals too!
I think my biggest hurdle will continue to be the running. I don't like to run. For me, running with out a soccerball is basically torture. :-) But that's okay...I'll push through! So wish me luck and hopefully it will all work out!

Starting over...

It's been a while since I have posted here. Some things have happened in the past couple of months that have made my training for the tri take a back seat. Now that I am back in the saddle, it's almost like I'm starting all over again. I put on some weight...sad but true and am working on getting that under control. So square one, here I am. Maybe someday I will go more in depth as to what set me back, but right now I feel as though I should keep it to myself. Maybe I'm not quite over it yet or ready to talk...who knows.

So last night I worked out with my friend and it was nice to have someone to chat with (through the huffing and puffing), it makes the time go by faster. I'm going to start the running training in July. Now that it's summer and we have better weather and more daylight...I'm hoping it will be SLIGHTLY easier to motivate myself.

I will update again, when I have a few more days of training under my belt.
