This weekend after a whisky drink or two, I pulled the trigger and signed up for a triathlon. I’ve been playing with the idea for a month or two now, primarily because I am starting to get burned out on running. Of course I couldn’t start small and do a Sprint, which tends to be around 300-700 meter swim, 9-15 mile bike ride and a 5k. Noooo, I decided to jump right in and signed up for what I thought was a ‘half distance’ tri. Well, technically, it is, but turns out, it’s really a 70.3 aka: half an ironman. Actually, I’m not sure if I can say it’s an Ironman...copyright infringement? Any whoodle, It’s a 1.2 mile open water swim, a 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run. All in order.
3/16/17 Yesterday I did a half day at the hospital, ran a few errands, then met Amy P. for a run. She kept making me laugh so I had to stop and walk, but it was great. I'm amazed at how much more walking I need, but I've heard once you get into the second trimester, your energy comes back. Man am I looking forward to that!! We did 4 miles in 50 minutes (12.5 min mile- *sigh*). The day before that we ran 3 miles and it went by so fast. If I had it my way, we would be walking all of it, but I am so grateful that she is pushing me to work hard! I know Cletus appreciates it. After we finished the run, I took the dogs on a 40 minute walk. I have no clue what happened to them but they were TERRIBLE. It was foreshadowing for the rest of the evening, honestly. Raz wasn't home and we have a guy staying in our rental. I believe those two things were enough to cause Thor to loose his shiiiiit. He really responds better to Raz than me. Jay is always excitable but listens to me mo
