Rough shape...

I'm walking with a limp today...and it's not because I'm cool. I hit my foot at the pool last night and broke part of my pinkie toe nail...and then got up this morning and went for a walk...and got a huge blister on the ball of my same foot.

Rough times! I put a bandaid on and am working through the pain! Better now...than closer to the TRI!

So, that's it...I walked for 2 miles today...did the big hill and headed by home. I'm hoping to start being about to do the hit 3 or 4 times and eventually running too!

Game on!

Day 2...almost a big win!

I didn't make it up for the walk/jog this morning (due to rain)...but I did make it to the pool after work. Woo hoo! I did 3 sets of 16 in 30 minutes!

Kicked back into working out...

by PURE EMBARRASSMENT.

Picture this...my future husband's mom, i.e. my future Mother-in-Law was at lunch with us yesterday and she said that she had asked Rich how my training was going...and he said "You better ask Stacie"....otherwise known as...not well.

It's true...I fell off the wagon. I got sick of training...I don't know how to run...and I'm not sure that is going to happen by June 20th...but I decided today, I'm going to TRI my hardest and do the best I can.

NO EXCUSES!

The alarm went off at 5am today and there was no way that was happening...so I reset for 6am and went for a 2 mile jaunt around the track. It was 30 minutes...but it was the FIRST step in the right direction in a while.

I have a little over 1.5 months to go...and I'm going to give it my all! Here goes!

Riding the Bike...

It was beautiful outside when I got home from work last night...so I decided to take my "maiden" journey on the new bike!

It was great...a little awkward at first, but once I got the hang of it...it was great! So excited to get out there again.

Saturday...

Walk/Run...I woke up today and it was BEAUTIFUL outside. I did a 3 mile walk/run loop through my neighborhood...then went down to Bothell Ski and Bike and got a NEW BIKE!

Yeah, I'm almost set.

Ordered my Tri-Suit on Wednesday and now a bike! I'm getting closer to nailing this TRI!

Oops! Real Week 2!

Week 2 of my new training schedule actually started today! After a busy weekend at my parent's house, it was nice to hit the gym tonight! The nice weather was fantastic too!

30 minute bike - 7.45 miles - 203 Calories
20 minute walk/jog - 4 walk/ 2 jog intervals for 1.4 miles and 130 Calories....it was nice because I made it through my running and thought that I could push myself for more! I will be running 1 mile in no time!
