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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
