Morning Run
I am now back to school full time for the semester. My focus for workouts will shift to making the very most out of the limited time I have. An aggressive goal that I have set for myself is to get a minimum of 5 short cardio workouts per week.
Hope school is going well so far (three days in?) My workouts this week so far: Monday Run 35:00, 3.8mi Walk 15:00 Tuesday Run 20:00, 2.1mi Walk 12:00 Pilates 20:00
You guys are really doing well. Maybe I'm just trying to keep up with you now......And Laura, you are getting faster! Your times on the treadmill are good.
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.
Hope school is going well so far (three days in?)
