I went to the Y this morning and simply swam what the beginning training plan called for for this day on the plan (500m). It also calls for a 2M run tonight. I am not sure if I will be able to fit that in, but [...]

Well, I’m training. Less than seven weeks to go until TRI day.
I bought a heart rate monitor by the suggestion of my brother in law (he is a professional personal trainer). He is “coaching” me. I didn’t really mean for him to coach me. I simply asked for advice and so far, every day since [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Pardon my negativity, but… it sucked. It hurt. I walked so much. It was an all-hill course…. up down, up down… Tommy’s sister suggested (before the race) if I needed I should “walk the hills.” By the end of the race (or even by mile [...]

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 [...]
