Day 4

I am not going to blog every day; my daily training is just not that exciting. I will every few days to begin with and then will go down to once a week.

Yesterday I attempted to ride my mountain bike. Like last time, I did not get to far. It was cold and I was not dressed right. One thing that I figured out is that I have to start some weight lifting to increase my thigh strength. I am just not a strong biker; I think it will be the weakest link.

I took Maisey out to state land for a jog/walk (okay, more walking than jogging). I did not hit the treadmill yesterday as I was still sore from the day before.

Now today was a kick ass work out. 350 meters for laps and 90 minutes of water aerobics. I will attempt to do the treadmill tonight, however I am having drinks with a girlfriend beforehand we will just see how that goes.

I finished reading a fantastic book. It is called "Slow Fat Triathlete" by Jayne Williams. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Slow-Fat-Triathlete-Athletic-Dreams/dp/1569244677/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273866066&sr=8-1-spell It is perfect for anyone going from the couch to the starting line. There were times that I would burst into tears while reading it; just out of sheer anxiety over what I am going to do. Deep breathes....
