I have agreed to a running streak...and no it is not what you think. I will be fully clothed! What it means is that from Memorial Day-July 4th I have agreed to run at least 1 mile everyday. This seemed easy 2 days ago. That was before life got in the way. There have been so many ups and downs lately that it has made working out really hard. But I ran 5 miles of trails on Monday, a 12.3 mile bike ride on Tuesday and a 1 mile run in the rain. Now today is day 3 and I am waiting for everyone to go to bed so I can hurry up and run my 1 mile. I am not sure how I am going to keep this up for another 37 days. I have also begun my official tri training. Which really means I am cutting back on my running and increasing my biking...and very, very, little swimming. I have 4 weeks until my first tri of the season. To complicate things I was offered free entry into a half marathon this weekend. And I said YES. What is wrong with me? What was I thinking? The longest I have ran since my last half has been 5 miles. I am sure this is going to be a train wreck! But I am still going to attempt it.
I will be following the last 5 weeks of the Oylmpic Training plan found in the book Triathlon Training by Michael Finch. Happy Training!
