I Love You Guys!

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
A Million Thanks to all the Great Comments and helpful tips!
I am so glad I waited until I had such great "friends", before trying the Tri world!

I found a race...it is a small one...sprint..and in the pool!

So my goals this summer are this:

Run my first half marathon in June...and run it under 1:45
Race a 5k under 20 minutes
Race my first sprint triathlon!

I am super excited!

This weeks training seemed like it was NEVER going to work out!
Everyday I had to adjust...and change the planned workout!
But in the end...It has all come together!

Monday: 2 1/2 mile warm up, 2 mile tempo (7min.) pace, 1/2 mile cool down
Tuesday: massage
Wednesday: 1 mile warm up, 3 x's 800 @ 8.0 on treadmill
Friday: 2 miles easy (but felt horrible)
Saturday: 9 miles 1:18

Total miles: 19!!!!!

My highest yet!

If I had a picture of today's run...
It would have been perfect!
I felt good!
I was smiling the entire 9 miles...
I think because I was running outside, with my husband, (who had been out of town all week), with a light mist, and beautiful temperatures!

  9. Sounds like you have a great set of goals. I'm excited for you to try your first tri. A pool one is a great choice for that first effort--good move.

  10. Those are great goals! I have only done a tri twice (didn't train and was right out of HS swimming) and it was a lot of fun. Good luck and I'm glad you had such a good week!

  13. Sherri,
    Cool news about the tri. A pool swim sounds like a good idea for your first tri. I so want to try a tri, but I don't think I'd ever complete the swimming part. You have some ambitious time goals. Good luck. Fantastic that you were able to run your 9 miles with your husband. Nice time. Running with someone is the BEST, as you know. I wish my wife was a runner, but she's not.

  16. Awesome goals! With a 5K of sub 20 you should be able to do a 1/2 in 1:3ish (no pressure, though) if you put in the miles. Exciting about the tri. I did my first sprint last year and loved it. Good luck!

  17. yeah for you!! I'll trade you your run pace for my swim experience? You are fast (green is not a good color on me). Good luck and glad you got lots of good advice.
