Toe Deep~

I should be one week into my triathlon training (toe deep in tri training lol). I didn't swim at all this week. In fact I started to work a coupe weeks ago, it is very sporadic but it is exhausting when I do work! I have been substituting at my kids school!

SWIM:

Two weeks ago I wanted to see my swim time improve so I timed a 300 meter/yard swim. This is the distance for the sprint tri I am doing. It was 10 minutes. LOTS of room to improve. I plan to time myself every couple weeks to make sure I am in fact becoming faster!

BIKE:

The new year has brought the challenges of trying to work and trying to still get up at 5:30 am to work out. Some days I will say I am gonna go hit the later class and end up subbing so honestly I need to pull myself out of bed to get to the class, I have been successful 2 out of 4 weeks. I will keep getting stronger and am working up my mind to get back outside on the street once it warms up! I even have a couple rides planned!

RUN:

So ever since the fall I have had one painful run after another. This morning I joined a girl's running group at a local running store and ran 7 miles, about 5 of which were painful. As I thought back to why I might be having these pains I realized the culprit is probably my shoes!! I got new shoes back then and the heal had a 2mm drop. that has got to be it!! It is really frustrating because it has completely slowed me down! I have GOT to get new shoes asap!!

A New Year, A New Challenge!

I am excited to report I have started to put together a race calendar and a training schedule! WOO!!! In 16 days I can sign up for my first Triathlon! I can't believe I am ready for this!!!! Isn't it exciting?? Now I just need to kick this cold, my training was supposed to start this week but my chest is heavy and tight and my nose is stuffy. I am not signing up for much this year. What I am signing up for is events I really want to do!! This year will be awesome for me!!

so should I or shouldn't I? Marathon..... Do I want to??? I suppose if I am questioning I shouldn't?? I really don't know. I would love to do Salt Lake but my window is closing quickly! I need to get training if I am doing it.
