Where have I been ?
There are times when you have all the best intentions of doing something and then all of a sudden….POW…right down the drain. I have started-stopped-started this blog many times with all the right intentions, but for some strange reason I tend to neglect it. Why ? I don’t know.
I’d like to say that I’ve now changed but really have I ? I’m not going to commit to writing every day or even every other day, but I’m going to be more frequent. I have goals and this is where I should be expressing them.
So, for the past two months I’ve been in a very beginner phase. What ? Well, I’ve been running since I was 8 years old and it’s been an up and down battle with running. This past year I became a Triathlete. What that means is that I now train for swim, bike and run. More time to train but also less chance of injury. In theory.
I’ve slowly started to increase my mileage. I’m now running between 15-20 miles a week and this month I’ll start to introduce some biking and possibly some swimming.
I am still trying to finalize my races but right now I’m looking at this as my schedule :
- April (possible duathlon r-b-r)
- May (Nothing yet, but a 5k would be nice)
- June (Half Marathon in my own city & Webster Sprint Triathlon)
- July (Appleman Sprint Triathlon)
- August (Some Olympic Triathlon)
- September (5 miler & 5k)
- October (10 miler, Bay State Marathon & maybe the season ending Duathlon in Lowel)
These are my initial goal races, but things could change. I actually almost decided to do Timberman again, but my heart told me that my main goal is to try and qualify for Boston and to get faster before I do a longer triathlon again.
Next year I’m definitely doing Timberman and hopefully I will be faster and slimmer.
More to come in the near future.
