Workout Plan:

Today's plan:

To swim 100 meters more than the race distance and then run a mile.  I'll let you know how it goes!

Today's Workout: Day 1

6:00am:  Day 1 of 5-Day-Abs

Have you seen this workout series?  It's hilarious.  End of story.  Totally 80's in leotards and leg warmers . . . But it works!


1:00 pm:  Level 1 - Jillian Michael's - 30 Day Shred



Again another favorite of mine.  It involves circuit training and is a great workout to do from home.


9:00 pm: Run

Distance: 1.09 mi
Time:  12:01

So I realize I'm still slow and out of shape, but even if I could just complete this race it would be a huge accomplishment for me!  So here goes nothing!


I suck at following through. . . . .

I really need a personal trainer or something.  I psych myself out of things or come up with way too many excuses.  Does anyone else ever have that problem?  Anyway, I started freaking out that the Turkey Triathlon would be freezing! Because it's the middle of November and there might even be snow on the ground and the swimming section is last and all that blah, blah, blah.

So again, new goal:

There is a mini-triathlon coming up in two weeks.  It's half the distance of a Sprint Triathlon and I felt like that maybe that would be a good pacer and motivator.  I agree, I'm insane.  I'm no where near ready for it.  But I have kicked my training into high gear for this week and we will just see where it lands me.

Wish me luck!
