New Goal

One thing that has always been on my bucket list is to complete a triathlon.  So this is it!  The time is now!  I have decided to train and enter the Yuba, September 10, Triathlon Sprint!

What made me decide to attempt this crazy thing it that I have gone through a big phase of different workouts.  Basically I'm really unhappy with the shape I'm in and how I look, and my work-out regime never sticks.  I get really bored with the same thing over and over.  I used to run track in high school.  I was never amazing, but I had fun.  Then out of the blue last night I decided to go running, (well a slow jog is much more like it).  And it about killed me, but I actually enjoyed it.  And I started thinking (scary idea I know).  Now just running as a work out would never stick with me; it would be the same old story just like Jillian Michael's 30-day-shred.  It lasts about 10-15 days and then I get busy or bored.  But a Triathlon. . . . Running, Biking, & Swimming.  Mix it up everyday, get in shape, and compete!

I started doing some research and found this amazing website: BeginnerTriathlete.com it has free training schedules for whatever you are looking for.

So this is it.  I have picked my training schedule.  This blog will be a journal of sorts to document my training and keep me motivated.

I am a high school math teacher and this is the last week of school, so I am starting just a few work outs of my own.  Right after school gets out I am heading to Florida on vacation, but the day I get back, serious training begins!  So June 9 better watch out, because this girl is ready to kick some serious triathlon butt!
