An electronic journey into the training and event log of an endurance and multi-sport athlete
About Me
- Connie
- Louisville, Kentucky, United States
- After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!

Day 2
I officially survived my second workout with Insanity today - although I almost didn't make it. I don't know if it was the Fit Test two days ago, or the 5k hilly run later that day, or possibly the combination of the two, but my calves and hamstrings have been super-tight over the past two days. To the point that it hurt to stand up, walk, walk up or down stairs, or basically just move. I was worried that I may have to put it off for a few more days or even a week or more - the Derby half marathon is in 4 more days, and I figured if my legs felt this tight and sore after a 5k, I can imagine how they will feel after the 13.1 miles. But... I pushed through and by the time the Insanity workout was over my calves actually felt BETTER! And as far as the workout.... well, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Everyone I've talked to has said that it was just crazy-insane and the hardest thing they've ever done. Of course, this was the first of many workouts, so I may be speaking too soon, but for the most part I was able to stick with it and took a few breaks near the end. I'm sure I will be able to get through the whole thing as I go along, but I am definitely bound and determined to finish these sixty days. I want a toned and fit body, darnit!
