About Me

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!

Week One Down

Well, I've officially survived week one of Insanity and I have to say - I feel great! I don't feel great, however, about missing the mini-marathon this morning :( My third race this year that I signed up, paid for, and then missed. Long story short - LG&E came out to work on the gas lines, had to turn off my gas, and neglected to re-light the furnace when they left so I've basically been without heat since. Not that it's freezing outside, but I was so anxious last night about it being out that, not only did I sleep like crap, but I also got a bit chilly. Getting up at 5:30 a.m. to run a race in 40-50 degree weather in the (possible) rain didn't seem like a lot of fun. Regardless, I'm trying not to beat myself up about it since I did end up doing the scheduled Insanity workout today. And... whether it is all in my mind or not, I think I do see a little bit of definition coming through on my arms. I've certainly done more push-ups in the past week than I've done in the past year. I'm still trying to find a good balance with my food intake. I've been attempting to eat better this week, and although there is room for improvement, I think I've done a fairly decent job. Tomorrow, I will enjoy my day off with friends at the Bats game, and then get back into the swing of things on Monday. Week 2, here I come!
