Went swimming with Christy this morning.
Have I told you all about Christy? Tommy’s sister? I know I have mentioned her a few times. But, did I ever give her credit for being the one who talked me into committing to this triathlon? Here’s how the story [...]

Spinning kicked my butt

I went to a spinning class this AM. I had to get up and out, do something. I can’t believe how far off the training-track I have fallen. Time is ticking! Almost less than two months before the triathlon!
I found myself saying “Ah, well, MTV trained a kid in six weeks to finish a tri… [...]

first indoor cycle

Sarah showed me how to use the indoor spinning machines today. I have no idea how far I went or how fast I was going, as that information is no where to be found on the machine. But I cycled for 30 solid minutes. It was pretty easy… of course I had it on a [...]

While waiting for Sarah to show up this morning, I thought I’d hop on the treadmill and see what I could do to warm myself up. I started walking for 1/4 and then I upped the speed to 5.2 for a slow jog. I decided to [...]

Tommy made me run

Actually I was telling him how disappointed I was in myself this week. This first week of official tri training season. The first week and I didn’t complete the entire training plan. I suck. I mean… that is how I felt. So he offered to run with  me today. Really the running has become the [...]

I went swimming with my roomie this morning. She likes to just be moving and active so she spent her time treading water while I swam a few laps. We hopped in and I timed my very first 50. I didn’t sprint but I went at [...]

Learning the ropes of biking

Christy and I met at the park with the intention of riding our bikes on one of the trails. It was a beautiful day and a great opportunity to get some trail riding in.
However, once we got the bikes off of their racks I remembered I needed to pump my tires. (I keep hearing from [...]

more recruits!

I met Tommy’s co-worker and new (but good) friend “Britt” this past weekend. Throughout the evening, Britt mentioned his insecurity about his weight more than once — he used it as the butt of his jokes most of the evening. I told him he should learn the “joy of motion” (thanks Sarah!) and before he [...]

Short run with Megan this morning. Today kicks off my official “training” schedule. The plan called for a one mile run today. We went ahead and ran 1.5 simply because that’s the route we run. Also because I know Megan wants to run more than one [...]
