Aren’t short weeks the best? This one flew by! Filled with easing back into life, recovering from Miami, (an attempt to) eating healthy, and hitting the ground running (pun intended?) with training. Tuesday Tuesday’s workout was 4 evening miles. I was absolutely STARVING after work and couldn’t wait to eat dinner, so I ran with leftover pad … More Discovering the track + waterfront fun + jello legs

Things I’m LOVING about Triathlon Training My energy level – after a few marathon cycles, I forgot what it was like to NOT feel completely dead after a workout! It got to the point where I had to work from home the days I was scheduled to run over 10 miles because I would be so tired. Now, my body is … More Things I’m LOVING (and not loving) about triathlon training

Before signing up for this tri, I spent a LOT of time researching different training plans, and to be honest, I got super overwhelmed. I found them all to be a little too detailed and not tailored to my needs – for example, most were for beginner swimmers when I have some experience.
