Well, so far...so far. I have yet to work up the ambition to start my running program again, as all I think of when I think of running is pain. This is actually sort of funny as I am sitting here typing this with an ice pack wrapped around my knee due to the 36 mile bike ride I just put in. But yes, running = pain.
I did do a small portion of my strength training last night. I was terribly slow at swimming last winter, and I'm hoping that putting a little more muscle on my arms will help with that. Well, that and losing another 50-70 lbs. Along those same lines, I'm trying to increase my cadence while biking (the only part of triathlon that I'm actively doing...hmm). My theory there is that I must kick faster to go faster, and biking faster is sort of like kicking. We'll see.
The local bike/tri group has weekly training sessions at a lake near here. I'm trying to decide if I have the mental fortitude to go to this training when I a) swim very slow and b) run even slower. Still, I don't have a lot of opportunities to swim, so maybe I could just go and swim whilst everyone else does the whole shebang.
The biggest step towards doing a tri that I have actually accomplished this week is telling *everyone* I know that I intend to do a triathlon. I figure if I tell enough people, I pretty much have to, right?
