Been a year

Wow. It's been a whole year!!! Holy cow. I didn't get to do my triathlon last year as I injured my back june/July and by Dr's orders I was under no circumstances allowed to compete. Probably just as well as I was no where near ready for it.

I am 100% back into training. I think I'm doing very well. I have lapsed on my running however but I'm going to get back into that tonight. The thought is making me sick. Can you believe it? I don't know why I can't run. I think it's mental. I'm mental. I'm mental for doing this.

I've swam more this month than anything. 70 laps in a hour. Not overly fast but that's without stopping. Something I could never, ever do before quitting smoking.

My intentions for this Triathlon is just doing it. Not to win, or lose but just to finish it and be proud that I did. So for the next 5 months this is all I'm going to harp on about. My training good and bad points, my horrible and not so horrible eating habits. For instance my love of chocolate covered gummy bears and spicy cheetos.

Tonight I am on a 14 minute non stop run. I've built this up from only being able to run for 1 minute. It's been 3 weeks since I ran last and I know I won't be able to do the whole entire 14 without stopping, or dying :) We'll see. More tomorrow.
