Wednesday Night Run - Getting Back on Track

All right, it's time to get this train back on track. I had a nice break over the holidays and was had a sinus infection/cold for about a month but it's time to get back on track and get back in the groove.

I've been getting the ball rolling again for the past few weeks. I even swam 3 days last week. But this week I've almost got derailed again. I slept in Monday and Tuesday instead of getting out to the pool as planned. And today Wendy made me like 18 homemade chocolate chip cookies to take to work as a snack. They were gone by 4:00! And though they tasted wonderful, I've felt horrible physically and mentally all day.

So, I went out for a 3 mile run after I put Sarah to bed tonight. I hate to think that I probably only burned about 3 cookies worth of calories though! Ugghhh! Well, anyway, I feel much better now.

Well, I've decided to make triathlons my focus this year. I want to do several sprints and one or two olympic distance races. Mostly though I just want to live a healthy and fit lifestyle, and triathlon seems to be a great fun way to accomplish this.

I've decided that my first big race will be the Turtle Crawl at Jekyll Island on May 5th. I'd also like to do the sprint at Parris Island on March 17th. Now I just have to decide on what training plan to follow. More on that later...
