Try a Tri

RUN BIKE SWIM So me and Jimmy are going to do a triathlon. Mind you it's just a "baby" one, but it has the potential to be strenuous none the less. We’ve been in training about two weeks. The big day is October 21st, so we still have a few weeks to get ready. It's a good thing. I've come to accept just how out of shape I am. Obviously I was in peek performance shape back in my high school cross country days. I ran 16-something several times for the 3 mile race. Since high school I have run from time to time off and on, and felt like I had stayed in shape at least somewhat. I've always been able to still run 3 miles. I guess I thought since I could run 3 miles, I was in pretty good shape. What really hurt was to finally realize just how slow I was running that 3 miles. I seem to be cruising along these days at a pace just above "old man shuffle". It takes me close to 30 minutes to finish 3 miles. Uuuggghhh! O.k., I'm going to admit it. I'm out of shape. There I said it. Is there some sort of support group for old out of shape cross country runners who have been in denial for 15 years? I think I’m going to require at least a ten step program to overcome my out of shape addiction.

Let's get this party started!

Well, here we go. I've been running a few different blogs for a while now, but they are very content specific. I needed a place where I could just write about everything and anything...so here we are. As Murphy would have it, now I've got a forum to write everything that's on my mind, I can't think of a darn thing. But that's not the point. Hmmm...what was the point, oh yeah, the point was that when I do have something on my mind I have a place to put it. See ya soon!
