Beh! I forgot about this blog.

What does that say about me as a blogger if I have one I completely forgot about?

Can't bring myself to delete it though.

So quick update:
I competed in another sprint-tri in June of 09. The scenery was beyond gorgeous! I'll have to post pictures. I kept training that summer for more later in the season but never actually forced myself to enter. Correction, I entered one and then woke up and packed the car and then crawled back in bed with Ben. He wasn't going to go with me which is totally reasonable considering he'd already supported one a few weeks earlier, but going by myself just wasn't appealing. I'll have to remember that in the future.

FYI:
I found some FABULOUS bike trails that summer of training then no show. I learned from the previous year to do most my bike training outside and boy was it rewarding! DC has some of the most beautiful green spaces in the country! Roosevelt Island, WO&D trail, and much more I'm sure.

This year, 2010:
I'm preggers so no tri for me. I have been swimming though and I must say it is such a wonderful way to exercise my awkwardly thin but fat body. I'm pulling an easy 500 yards each time. I love that about swimming, condition for it once in your life and you're set. When I first started all this tri business I could barely do 125 without pulling myself out of the water for a rest, now I start my season at 500. Gosh, just think how great I could do if I were training? Endless pool is in my future.

I did it!

Toady was the day. It was totally worth it and I'll definitely do it again. I wish there was another one this year. I didn't do as well as I'd have liked, but I'm just not super competitive. Not even with myself. Laid Back Liz completed her first Triathlon.

Midnight Run

Last night I went for a little run around 12:00am. It was very relaxing. Then this morning I went for a six mile bike ride and I don't feel ready at all. I think I'll do the best on the swimming, then the run, and worst on the bike which is truly ironic. I made the mistake of doing most my bike training in the gym. I just couldn't bring myself out to bike in 100 plus degree weather. Now I will pay.

I also went for a swim this morning. I'm glad the swimming is first. I was pooped. And really slow. Well, I'm super psyched for tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Run in the rain

So I tried to go running tonight, but it rained on me. I'll have to work harder on my Thursday run.

Five days!

I'm glad to report I had a great swim tonight.

Weak sauce,

One week to go! And I didn't work out at all this week. I tried to go swimming today. But everything kept getting in the way. My goggles flooded. Then my head thing kept letting water in and my nose plug started to hurt. Brother!

So my goals for next week are swim Monday and Friday. Run Tuesday and Thursday. Bike Thursday and Friday. Our bikes are getting tuned up this week.

Called in sick

and went swimming today.
