Triathlon Women ROCK!

We had a GREAT time at the Trek Women's Triathlon in Orlando this year!! A bunch of did the Tri as a relay team. Already, a few of us, myself included, are planning to train for next year's Tri and do the entire thing ourselves!! What a goal!

I have to say it was one of the most fantastic experiences of my life! There were women of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities! I was most impressed with a few women who had disabilities such as a prosthetic limb, who completed the race in outstanding time. It was empowering and awesome.

I would fully recommend participating in an event such as this. Whether is a Breast Cancer 3-day walk, a Trek Womens Triathlon or the Alzheimer's Memory Walk; they are all inspiring and very motivational. What a great event!!

Thanks to all my women colleagues and friends who completed this year's Triathlon with me! Y'all inspire and make me LOVE being a WOMAN! Thanks girls!!!

13 days n' countin'....

Remember that day I told you I was running in a triathlon?

I still am.

In 13 days!

I'm getting a bit nervous. Still training for it. Today went quite well. 2.3 miles on the treadmill and it FELT FANTASTIC!

I've followed the directions in the book that I told you about in the last post, The Complete Guide to Running. It really doesn't stir you in the wrong direction. It has some fantastic information.

Like stretching. Really helps a lot! Especially those tender little calves.

And hydration. Helps MORE THAN A LOT! It is a quite long and painful workout when you have no reserve.

So I'm keeping it up and working toward my goal.

What is my goal for the race, you ask?

Breathing and still upright. THAT would be good!!
