TT Day 2

Day 2: Bike 5 Miles

I think that biking is going to be my favorite event.  I haven't tried the swimming yet, that comes tomorrow, but this biking thing I can do.  There was a point around mile two that I kind of wanted to die, but by mile 4 I felt really good.  I'm glad this program that I'm doing isn't making me run everyday.  So today went a lot better than yesterday I think.  And all my muscles are properly sore.  I think I'm going to need to stretch a lot more, and find some good stretches for muscles I didn't even know existed.  I'm also thankful that this thing is easing me into it.  I tend to way overdo things on my own, and so it's nice to set a limit to it.  Of course, in a few weeks when I'm biking 15 miles and running for an hour I might feel different.  But for now, totally good.

As far as life goes?  I'm in one of those phases where I want to buy a house, SO bad.  Silly thing is we just signed a year lease for this place.  So we're stuck here for another year.  It's probably a good thing, but totally annoying.  It would probably be good to pay off the car first or something.  Or when Jamo gets that promotion at work.  Sigh.  Patience.  And stuff.

Also, I hate grocery shopping.

Triathlon Training (TT) Day 1

Day 1 - Run 15 minutes

So I waited another week to start.  Something about my son having surgery and recovering.  But he's doing good.  He also was teething the past few days, which added to the fun around this place.  But today, it was time.  And so I went to a local park here that has a loop that is 1 mile around.   I made it around precisely once.  And wanted to die.  And that was with walking the last half maybe?  I will add in my defense, that there are some huge hills in that park.  Also, I had already walked the loop once with Jill this morning.  Then I came home, died up three flights of stairs, and stretched.  And now I can't walk.

Consensus of the day: I'm SO out of shape.

And for those of you here to look at my cute baby, here you go...
