I've been kind of twisting in the wind for a long time. I feel like I have all sorts of things that I want to do, but just no motivation to get them done. So I was THRILLED to get an e-mail from one of my bestest friends last week.
Wendy is awesome, & has decided to train for a triathlon in November! Being the thoughtful girl that she is, she invited a bunch of her buddies to join in. I was jumping right on the bandwagon, but after I thought about it realistically, I figured out that I don't have the TIME to meaningfully train for a whole triathlon before November. OK, yes. I have tons of time. I'm not one of those women that presumes that she is all-important & has no time for the world around her. However, I do NOT have giant blocks of time every day that I can leave my house to go swim or bike. Hey- my hubby's not home & I don't think that I'd get the "Mother of the Year" award if I left my 1 & 3 year olds home alone (or hanging out on the pool deck while Mommy swims laps)!
Keeping all of this in mind, I committed to be part of a relay team for the triathlon. I am teamed up with 2 good friends & we'll combine to get it done! Kristi M will swim, Katie F will bike, & I'm gonna be running the 5K at the end.
So I have begun! Leaning on the awesome Couch 2 5K program, I have started to get this tushy back into shape & into fighting form! I've got 2 workouts down- only 25 to go!
Pray for me folks- it's been a LONG time since I've been in any sort of athletic shape!
