From Couch...to 5K?

Okay, so I'm starting my training today for my first triathlon. It's an amalgam of the training plan for the swimming found in the "Woman Triathlete" I went to and the running plan found at coolrunning.com. I thought this would be a good time to start a blog, although I sort of have one already that I started this past spring by the same name...talking about losing weight. I started at 194 pounds on January 14th, and lost 30. I'd like to mention that I'm a strict vegetarian. A fat strict vegetarian. Hell, potato chips are vegetarian, aren't they? In any case, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was in better shape than I thought. I found that instead of 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking, I could do 90 - 90 comfortably. So I did. And you know what else? I liked it! Who'd have thunk it. I lifelong mosy-er enjoying a run. Good girl. Sweaty girl.

  1. Wow....look how far you've come in "just" five years. I think it's so much easier to look back and call it "just" five years than it is to look forward and say "only" five years (which, to me, feels like an eternity). WAY TO GO!!
