It is so-o-o stinking hard to start again. Thank goodness I registered for the Tri last fall because there is no backing out of something I paid for! But I made a mistake in not figuring out when my true training needed to start. In the back of my head I thought it was the beginning of March....
Yep.
I so missed my start date by about three weeks. Darn.
Well, that was the kick in the butt realization and motivation I needed. I figured out my schedule today and even with a vacation coming up in a week, I'm packing my running shoes, because this girl is now behind and every session is going to count.
Today was a nice solid 3.5 mile run and 2 miles biking at 4 mph with the kids (that counts doesn't it?) and another 3 miles at 11 mph. Tomorrow I start swimming.
In general I'm doing two workouts per sport per week. With the general schedule looking like this:
Monday

Tues.

I have a general idea of how much time I should be putting in, but not really what that should translate into distances but since this is my first event I'm training for, I'm just going for endurance not speed.
Goal: Finish.
Thanks for reading... any encouragement, stories, advise... I'm all ears.
