Subject: here we go!
Got a high blood pressure diagnose in march of 2015. There I was with 37 yrs old, with overweight, junk food eater, etc. Had to do something and my wife helped me a lot.

After proper medical examinations, after learning again to eat, and after realising that could not exercise on my own, hired a personal trainer. He got me into running (functional exercises, they call it) and when i knew was running almost every day...

Have to admit that got hooked into it. So much hooked that had an overtraining diagnose last december, and a blister too: 30 days off.... 2016 comes by. Then tendon on the left foot is hurt at home doing "housecare things". More 15 days off...

Back on running again since last week, monday will start swimming (there is a complex of swimming pools, and academy just near by my home) and running on alternate days.

Since that running almost every day got me into overtraining, the run/swim/run/swim will solve that problem (i think). But will also need (1) to pump some iron twice a week to prevent other problems and (2) train on bike later on... but to that i think that some advice are very important, besides my personal trainer tips.

Having said that, here I am to lurk and learn...

Welcome to BT and triathlon, Jean!

Don't worry, there are lots of crazy people here who have made all the same mistakes ... maybe even me

Definitely check out our Mentor Groups--that's a great place to get advice and support. Link is at the top of this forum and also the main Triathlon Talk forum.

Because I'm not that fast going slow is, well, really slow - especially when I'm trying to train by heart rate. It feels like I'm going backwards. Is this normal?

The cause of the sleeplessness could be anxiety to get out and compete but more often than not the inability to sleep is a fear of what might happen, of what might go bump out on the race course.

Do I swim an extra 1000 yards or show up on time to my son’s soccer game? Those small decisions become larger components in this emo/physio battle of decision and will. "Should I go pro?"

"I'm 'good' at breakfast and lunch, but after I get home from the gym at night, I end up devouring everything in sight. On weekends, my eating is even crazier." Sound familiar?

I got a new pair of the same size / brand of shoes and started running on them. On my left foot, the toe next to the big toe starts to get a little painful and goes numb after the first 1-3 miles.
