About Me
- Iron Quest
- Rockford, Illinois
- I started to casually run 5k's, 10k's, and half marathon's in the late 90's. My first real triathlon was the Pigman Half Ironman in 2004. Since then I have slowly but consistently improved my fitness while competing in a variety of multisport races each year. However, I have always shied away from the full Ironman. Until 2009 that is. I am creating this blog to chronicle my quest to become an Ironman on September 13th, 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. On that day, the first and main goal will be to finish. But to me, I hope it is much more than that. This is a way for me to get to know myself better. It is a way to test my limits and see where they might be. I believe that life truly is a game of inches. The inches I need to get better and become an Ironman are all around me. My Ironman prep is in everything I eat, the way I think, the way I train, and the way I influence others. Striving and fighting for those inches is truly living. What am I going to do? Come back here to find out. My blog is a place where I will chronicle my training and give my personal opinions on health and fitness.

Yesterday (1/10/09), after many consecutive days on the treadmill, I decided to run outside. The night before we had gotten a considerable snowfall (6-8 inches) and it was really pretty. The temp was a comfortable 28 degrees. As soon as I started running, I remembered why I love running again. The fresh air, the sparkling snow, and the sound of the crunching snow beneath my feet all contributed to putting me in a good mood. Running joyously, even gleefully, I started waving at children building snowmen and offering a nice "hello" (accompanied with a pleasant smile) to shovelers and walkers alike. I was a happy camper, er, runner I mean. I was enjoying myself and everything seemed to be going right.
ReplyDeleteThat is, until mile 2.5. I hit an ice patch and down I went. Even my face got buried in the snow somewhat. My happy mood turned sour. Darn ice patch! Thankfully, the freshly fallen snow cushioned my fall prevented me from getting seriously hurt. At that point, I had no choice but to just finish the course and head home. My mood returned (somewhat) to its happy state as I continued running. Getting closer to home, I found myself replaying Rocky IV scenes in my head (you know, the ones where Rocky is training in the cold and snowy Russian tundra). Then I starting chuckling inside as I realized I was comparing myself to Rocky. Haha, to conclude, despite the fall, the run was a success and for the most part, enjoyable.
Total distance: 6.0 miles
Total time: 56:00
Krista, it is unfortunate that you took a spill. Glad you are ok. At least you are starting to know where I'm coming from ;)
ReplyDeleteToday I ran on the treadmill in the great indoors.
Total distance: 4.75 miles
Total time: 45 minutes
Walked for 20 more minutes and did 20 minutes of pilates.
Hope I'll have time to workout this week...
