Day 8

Yesterday was my day off. For some reason I was feeling very sluggish this morning so I did not go to the Y for swim laps. I was achy and had a sore throat. As they day went on I started to feel a bit better, so I decided to get on the treadmill.

Big improvement since Sunday! I pushed myself to run (up to 4.8) and speed walk (3.9) for 3.1 miles. As I think I blogged before, the goal is to do a minimum of 3.1 miles again and again to improve my time. The race states I must complete the run leg within 60 minutes. Today I made it in 45 minutes, 20 seconds.

If it wasn't for my lack of experience on the bike, I would seriously consider doing a triathlon in August. There is one Cayuga Lake; not too far from where I live. I am going to see where I am physically one month from now; it may be a possibility!

Tomorrow: swim 600 meters and bike 3 miles.
