Catching up....

Time is going by so quickly, I can't believe it has been over a week since I have posted anything. I have been busy training & with life. Over the past 11 days I have swam 7,700 meters, biked 7 hours including a bike test, and ran 180 minutes.

So back to this bike test...similar to the swim test after a 20 minute warm up then a 20 minute all out effort, and a 20 minute cool down. This was TOUGH! I would have liked to have been faster, but its a start.

I have been trying to find more patience with myself and training. I know I'm am only at the begining of this adventure and I have a lot of faith in myself and my coach....Jen! I have always been an "I want it now" person, but I am slowing down and trusting the training and trusting that my body will respond to it. Right now I am not swimming 1 minute 100's, or biking 24 miles an hour, nor am I running 6 minute miles, but I am swimming, biking, and running...:)

I am thankful for the small victories in life and training. Yesterday I was free of pain in my heel for the 1st time in a long time....today I feel it, but again...its a start!

I have had some fun times outside of the triathlete's world as well...a indoor picnic with my beautiful 3 yr old, a valentine's date with my hubby, my son's 1st track meet, and Eva's 1st ice skating experience. Excited about this week of training....

Here are some picks of my past week...
