In hindsight.

I wish I could bottle the feeling I have after completing this kind of event. Im on top of the world and know I could have pushed myself further.
On the days that Im low and feeling down, embarrassed and fat I need to remember that I am a successful Triathlete and it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. No one laughed. People cheered for me. I didn't make a fool out of myself.

T minus 10 hours and counting.

All checked in. Got my body marked #113. Bike in car. Bag double checked and packed. Clothes out. Heading to bed. 5am will be here sooner then I think.

Not happy

I just found out that the triathlon next week has been changed to a duathlon. A light fixture fell into the pool and it will take a few weeks to fix everything.
Im not happy. I do Tri's cause I love to swim. That is my reward for lugging my body on runs and the bike. Im not sure I want to do the Duathlon. I really HATE running. Anyone can run and bike. The challange is swimming too.

Plus now my pool is out of commission for a long time. Sucky, suck, suck!!

Only 15day left. Holy crap.

My week so far really didn't have alot of training except for Tuesday.
Wed-was a bust
Thurs- swimming about 1000m
Friday- trainer and maybe the treadmill later.(it's raining)
This weekend I need to get the bike out.

It's a start

OK, Im going to start logging my Tri training.

today:
1.7 ml jog w/ some off road.
45min trainer
1/2hr dog walk
1.5 hrs yoga

First Triathlon of the season is April 18th.

Just get stuff done.

I woke up this morning wondering why, again I lay there like a slug. My mind trying to figure out the motivation question and wasting time. This is a pool morning. I LOVE swimming. Where is my MoJo?

Then I read my Horoscope today:

Why worry about what is holding you back from reaching your goals when there seems to be no way to determine what exactly it is? You're fretting and stressing over a mystery that might never be solved -- and it's a huge waste of your precious energy. So today, just get moving forward and focus more on doing things rather than on all the subliminal stuff that you'll never be able to pin down. You just need to get stuff done.

Happily I did get to the pool and I do feel invigorated.

I have to stop thinking so much and just get stuff done.

It's been a while.

Guess I should post more often.

I've signed up for 3 triathlons (4/18, 5/31, 8/1) so far, and Muddy Buddy in Virgina(5/3). This gives me some incentive to start back training. I bought a proper pair of running shoes. The lady at the running store was super about fitting me with great shoes and I didn't pay any more then in a regular Foot Locker. Went for a run on the treadmill this morning and my feet felt wonderful.

Im working on making each run 5 miles. I wish the weather outside was more acceptable (to me) for outside exercise. I just can't whip myself up to go out and run in 27degrees. Don't get me started about biking on ice.

Nutrition is still a struggle. I am working on making good food choices. Sooooo hard.

Ok, that's my life so far.
