Little Liz’s Training Blog

Initial thoughts… it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. I didn’t feel the cold as much as I thought I would. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
Day Before
I reached the hotel after [...]

We did it!!
We didn’t cross the finish line last. We didn’t finish in last place, either.
It was SO fun! 50 degrees, cloudy, 15-25mph winds.
I can’t wait to do it again!!
More to come…

Last fall, I read Jessica’s visualization for her first Ironman triathlon. Granted, she was participating in an Ironman triathlon…. yeah, so that’s a lot more of an accomplishment than a sprint triathlon, but that shouldn’t negate this post.

I made reservations for a hotel room for the night of March 28, 2008. The triathlon is March 29, 2008… so there’s that step. Tommy’s sister is participating in the triathlon with me and it’s about 4 hours away from us (but still in the state of VA!).
Making the reservation was free, so that’s mostly [...]

It’s not really in my reward system… but I believe it is an essential.
My sister is moving today (I am really sad about this, actually…) and is taking her mountain bike with her (I’m not that sad about this part) so I decided to buy my friend’s Trek bike off of her. We’re the same [...]

I took the “weight goals” text off of my sidebar.
Yesterday I added the “fitness tip of the day” tool to my iGoogle home page. Wouldn’t you know that the first tip I saw said something like “Think about how great you will feel when you lose the 10, 20, 30 lbs that you are reaching [...]

I chose a new theme for my blog! And I found the header image at sxc.hu. I added my little title and walla! It feels like a whole new world around here.
