Training my weakness
Thanks to the commenters; it helps a lot. I was saved from working out by the thunderstorms, so tonight will be a big test. Can I do a 45 minute/4 mile run and do this program and not kill anyone from hunger and/or frustration?
The NYC Triathlon is three weeks and three days away. My head hasn’t been in the game so far this year. It may be because last year’s half-ironman was so beyond my capacity and training for it was so difficult. Could this year be easy in comparison? Or will I be a wretched mess on race day?
Part of the reason I have been taking a lot of time off is that my foot has been bothering me at odd times, even when I don’t run. I need this foot; (or both feet??) I intend to finish the NY marathon again this year. And as R reminded me last weekend, the Nike half-marathon is coming soon…in five weeks and three days. It’s been 6 weeks since I ran over 6 miles and that’s not so good.
My mission today, aside from watching my food, working and running 4 miles, is to try to figure out a realistic schedule for the next 3 weeks. The public pools are opening on Friday, so I’m thinking that swimming should get a lot more feasible. The cycling? It’s going to be my weakest point, as always. Along with the running. Oh, and the swimming too. Why do I do this?

Drink a little bit more water than usual, that should help you feel fuller.
Oh, come on…you do it for the *bling bling*…what’s why everyone does it!
Just think how beautiful that medal will look around your neck and the overwhelming feeling you get when you cross the finish line! go go go
