History
I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.
Marathons Completed
Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

Getting Very Nervous
May 16, 2006

What a gorgious day today. The weather is suppose to be pretty warm by this afternoon. And unfortunately the forcast for this weekend - my first Tri - is suppose to be in the 90's by mid day.
Today I got in a great brick workout. I biked for 14 miles at an average of 18mph and then transitioned to a 5K run. My legs are feeling real fresh. After adjusting my cleats I no longer have that L IT band hurting. Actually I had no strange pains in my legs this morning at all. I felt great during the run, although starting off I had rubber legs for the first 100 yards. But after that I was cruising pretty well.
I also have the map of the bike and run course for the Triathlon this weekend so in my typical Obsessive Compulsive fashion I have downloaded every map and topographic layout I could find on the area. Tonight I'll input all the info into my mapping program and print out an elevation map and plan my ride and run. Yeah, I know I'm a little weird, OK more than a little. Whatever----
