It's official!

Well, it is official. I have registered for my first Triathlon! I am feeling excited, scared, challenged, inspired and many other emotions all at the same time. I huge THANK YOU to Cindy Q. for allowing me to join her team, "Gals for Cal". I can't think of a better reason to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to do something so "not me".

This blog is to serve as my virtual training journal until the event in July. I am hoping that if I have to keep track of my experience, it will help to keep me on my training schedule. I started running again in January and tried to get to the gym 2-3 times a week to run. I am up to about 2 miles, 1/2 walking 1/2 running as my baseline. I had my first swim lesson last Friday. The instructor was great, teaching me proper stroke techniques and most importantly, how to properly breath while swimming.

I wasn't able to work out this week because I was home with a sick boy, but starting Monday I hope to get back on track. I put my training schedule on my calendar to remind me that it is an important part of the day. While very daunting right now, I hope that as the weeks and months progress I will be building up my strength and endurance.

I am so looking forward to this Journey to July!
