The training begins!!!

Well I am on day two of my triathlon training, and it is going well so far. As I said before, I am starting a week late, but I'll have to make it up some time during the next 11 weeks. Tonight was lap swimming. Whew, do I have a long way to go...it was hard. I've never been one to lap swim, (I've always preferred floating around on a noodle.) but I have to say there is something about it that feels great and different from other workouts. Hard to explain, but I like it. Tomorrow is biking and I've done that workout a few times now, so it shouldn't be too hard. Oh, yeah...tomorrow is weigh in too. I am so thrilled to have friends on this journey right along with me. I need the accountability and I truly enjoy the privilege of rejoicing in my friends' successes. We are going to be some hot and healthy mommas by spring. Go Girls!!

  1. Great news girl! I'll be interested in following your treck with the swimming. It seems very difficult to me. Were you exhausted? How long did you go? Did he tell you how long it will take to get up to the distance you are trying to complete?
    It would have been "easy" to give it up after last week. Way to Go!!! We don't want you to be the Mother of the bride. How about the Hot Momma? Will Eryn agree to playing Rod Stewart's "If you think I'm sexy" when you are seated??? Okay maybe not. Hey what about "Hot Legs" Enough Enough

    Keep it up while you are going down : )

  2. I think I'm most impressed with this whole swimming laps thing. I don't know that I could swim one lap back and forth without taking a little time out. Good for you, Kathy with a K!!
    Keep up the good work.

  3. Way to go Kathy. I swam some laps the other day at the pool and it was exhausting...really challenged my lungs. I bought a swimming cap and a pair of goggles. I think I'm ready to give it another try. How many laps did you have to swim for your first training. Also, did you have to do it in a certain amount of time?

    Good luck tomorrow..I'l be watching for results!

    Stronger everyday...

    p.s. How about the song..."I'm too sexy" :) oh yeah, it's suppose to be all about your daughter!
