tri-and tri again beginnings :)

So I have never had a blog before .. I have read quite a few for sure ... I am not a good speller but hey this could be a great learning experience.

     It was a good week of training I was finally able to get out and beat some feet on the roads for the first time in weeks!!  Felt great!!  I think that my breathing is almost 100% now YAY but still consider myself a smoker.  I think the success of quitting lies in having a goal that is not smoking related.  For example I want to do the ironman 2012 in placid ,  it has nothing to do with smoking but smoking interferes with my goal.  If you know someone who wants to quit smoking , loose weight have them pick a goal that does not have that in it .. :)

    So Running Coaches Birthday she wanted to go beat feet at the YMCA and for her 31st b-day on the 31st wanted to run a 50k (31mi) ..  AND SHE DID IT ON A 1/16mi INDOOR TRACK ... talk about mind numbing !!  Amazing runner and if you don't have a running coach she is amazing ... she also has a untra race in Rochester coming up.  called "mind the ducks"  so if you are into ultras or want to come hang out with me and some truly amazing runners I recommend you sign up!  Or at least contact her consider it money in the bank :)  To her and Jimmy I owe you guys so much!!  from IT band stretches to long trail runs (still sore from them ;)  ) you guys are the best encouragement team on earth!!

     Im way behind in running and swimming and need to step it up .. I cant swim early in the morning as I do not have to coordination to breathe when I am supposed to.  I have not tried running really early in the am but that would be my only choice ... I am way to afraid of falling off the bike.... speaking of fallin off a bike ...

     So My cousin Melanie is planning to do an Xterra (trail triathlon) in July and my new found friend Gael (irish i think) is talking about doing one also.  I may have to get in on these but riding a bike down some of the trails jimmy and I ran would be nerve racking for sure.  I mean like broken bones scary,  not road rash , real hospital trips to get things either re-attached or sewn back on.  Mel and Dave said they are going to take me riding this spring/summer and im bringing Gael too so when they dust us and I fall she can help me LOL.

   Well I hope everyone has a safe few days not sure when Ill post again but this was fun!!
