Run, Bike, Swim, Repeat

This has been a full weekend as far as the training goes. I ran and swam on Saturday, and this afternoon I met a friend to ride bikes. She wants to try to do a triathlon this summer too. We will probably do some of the same sprint distances and maybe one Olympic distance. We enjoyed a very leisurely ride for about 50 minutes. It was so nice to chat and not really worry about time or how fast or how far. The biking is the hardest aspect for me because I have a fear of traffic, of being slow, of looking like a fool, a fear of the spandex.... Today I just enjoyed the ride and it was great.



This is my new/used bike. Isn't it cute?










I really haven't trained with people before. My husband and I go for group runs with friends, but I am always a good little ways behind everyone else, which is fine most of the time. I have the most supportive husband and friends in the world, who cheer for me and are proud of everything I do. But when it comes down to it, you have to run your own race. I enjoy the time to think or not think; to just be with myself. But, it is great to have someone by your side sometimes so you can forget about yourself for a while.

10 weeks until the triathlon season begins.....
