During the summer of 2009 I had this crazy idea: I should train for (and run) a half marathon! I went from being able to run 2 miles in May to 13.1 on September 13, 2009. I had to overcome knee problems and tendinitis in my hip in the process but in the end I finished the race and that's all that counted.
This year I had another crazy idea: I should do a triathlon! I've always loved biking, now I can run, and I've been swimming (for fun, not competitively) since I was 4. Piece of cake, right? We'll see. I really wish that I had kept a blog during my half marathon training. It was one of my greatest accomplishments, my greatest physical accomplishment. So in order to avoid future regrets, I made this.
The Triathlon that I am planning to run is in Chicago in August, about 9 months away. I'm not on a training schedule, it's just in my plans for the future and I'm making this so that I will be held to it.
I don't plan on updating this very often, training won't start until May-ish. In the mean time I'll just keep doing what I'm doing! Tips, Advice, and Articles on triathlon training are welcome and appreciated!
