It seems like every 6 to 8 MONTHS I try this blogging thing again. Usually, I am just starting up a new training plan, and hope that it will help me stay on track. And here we are - 7 months since my last "post" and its time to do this again!
My next triathlon is just 9-10 weeks away, and I'd like to actually "train" for it this year. :) I've got a good base of something I would consider "fitness" - been doing BodyPump, BodyCombat and spin classes at the rec center. Running "occasionally" but not enough, and my bike has re-claimed the dust I brushed off of it for the last triathlon 2.5 months ago. My goal for late July is actually pretty simple: I want to beat my times from last year... seems easy enough... I've got 10 weeks to train (compared to the 2 weeks of training last time!) Of course, its never that 'easy'. But I know I can do this!
So - I'll try to post weekly - this week, my first workout was tonight -was hoping to do Pump and Combat - but the arms and legs were not in agreement with that plan and both were quivering and shaky after Pump. Tomorrow I am going to try the demo Hip Hop Abs class ( no I don't think I'm going to like it, but if I want to vote for the other class (GRIT!) I need to go to this one to vote it a "no"). But I think I'm gonna follow it up with either a run or a swim.
My other goal is to track my food all week. I just need to get back into my routine - as that really helped me drop 15 pounds earlier this year (which I have happily kept off!)
Lets see if I can just remember to post to this thing every week! :)
