It has been a long time since I updated my blog. The blogger gods are mad at me. Things have been very busy and it got neglected, not a big deal right? Work has been very busy with a rather large project I am in charge of. On top of that I started a University course a few weeks back (Music related) and that has consumed plenty of my time as well. It has been busy!
So I did some training over the past month, eased back into it after my injury. Yesterday I completed my first Duathlon of the year. I had competed in this same event last year (it was my first at that time) so my goal was to beat my time of last year. It turned out to be a very windy day so the bike was very difficult. To keep things short, I finished third in my age group and beat my last year’s time by 7 minutes!!! It was an awesome accomplishment for me. It validated that all of my hard work is paying off. Can you believe I had a podium finish? I still can’t believe it myself.
I am also training for a triathlon now! I joined a website called Rock Star Triathlete and I am currently following one of their programs to get me to my first Tri. So here is the thing, I suck at swimming. I have been going to the local Y to train but it has been tough. I am certainly getting better though so that is motivating. Jackie has been swimming with me as well and she is a great coach (I think she could have a second career in the making)! She is the sole reason I have gotten so much better. So I signed up for a Super Spint Tri on May 21st. It is a shorter distance, kind of like getting your feet wet in the Tri circuit. We will see how it goes. Wish me luck!!!
I guess it is time for a weight loss update. I left this to last for a reason, there has been no loss. In fact, there has been a gain! I am up about 5 lbs from my lowest point. That puts me about 7 lbs from my original goal weight. I think at this point I may never get there. I have really tried but I have to say that my eating has gone to the crapper. I have been making lots of poor choices and it shows on the scale. I need help people! I have lost my edge!
The other huge news is that Brittany has accepted and Queen’s University in Kingston! She is very excited and so are we. It is nice that she will be close to home making weekend visits possible. Now we just have to come up with the money!! All donations are graciously accepted.
Well that is all for now.
I hope everyone reads a book to improve their personal growth, you deserve it!
