Subject: RE: Anyone Doing Mattoon YMCA Last Chance Tri? Thanks, I think I did pretty well for my first one too. Especially considering in July 2008, I weighed 250 lbs. It has just been a celebration of life this summer and I have LOVED every bit of it!!!! I plan on working on my running this off season. It is my sore spot. I don't enjoy it at all. I run about every other day right now, but hopefully will be getting a treadmill at home soon so that I can work on my pacing. I tend to let my mind wander and that slows me down while I am running outside! Go figure! HA! HA! I love swimming and biking. That stuff just comes natural to me, but not running. I was a sprinter and hurdler in High School and always hated running even a mile. We've done 6 5Ks so far this fall (well, since late August ) and will do as many as we can until the snow and ice comes. How about you? What are your plans for the off-season? Pen |
