I have decided to challenge myself to keep on track and motivated to push my fitness to the next level. I have taken up the sport of triathlons. I will be competing in sprint and Olympic triathlons this spring and summer. I have also entered the Eugene marathon May 1st and am shooting for a sub 5 hr first marathon. I am currently in training and at 16 miles I am running close to an 11 min mile. If all goes well I will be pushing my limits even further in 2012.
My 2012 Dream :)
I am at this point able to swim over a mile, Run 16 miles and Bike 25 miles. When we get better weather I will be pushing my bike ride further. I have found some great books im reading
Total immersion for swimming
Marathoning for Mortals for running or walking
I am working out 5 days a week and cross training between weight lifting running swimming and bike riding total weekly hrs are about 10-12. Nutrition is getting more important as I train harder and I find myself eating better.
When I need inspired I look at what this man did. Missing both lower legs and half of his right arm.
Amazing Human feat
More to come
