Day 2 of Training

Hello All!

So today is day 2 of my 6 week triathlon training cycle. I was supposed to run 30 minutes. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? Keep in mind, I just started running again 1 month ago. I was very slow, but I made 30 minutes and felt OK.

However... we have tropical storm force winds here today!!! I don't think it helped my distance very much. Nothing like running with your body at a 90 degree bend.

My plan for this blog is to just post my progress during my Danskin Triathlon preparation. I need all the support I can get right now. I'm not the picture of physical fitness, but I think I can do this.

The Danskin Triathlon is in Austin, TX on Jun 8th. It is a 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 5K run. I have 3 girlfriends doing it with me, so it's keeping me motivated to do this crazy thing.

My only goals for this race are to finish it and to not walk the run portion. I think I can do it.

Anyway, I'll keep this updated with my progress. Thanks for the support!

Go Girl Go!! Hi, for those of you that don't know me I am Deeann's friend who is crazy enough to do this event with her!

My few comments for the day...train hard....stop thinking you can do it..you will do it.

What about fun? This will also be fun. Maybe not during the last leg of the run but the whole experience will be...promise.

Awesome idea about this blog...keep it up!!
