Back Again...

This poor running blog is somewhat neglected, isn't it? I think it reflects my running habits...

I am back in tri training now, so hopefully both my training and blog updates will be more consistent! I've gotten back on the bike recently, and last Sunday was my first foray back into the pool. As I've mentioned here before, I love swimming, so it was nice to get back in the pool and work on my form. I allowed myself one swim workout to get back into the water and remembering what it feels like. It didn't take as long as I expected to get back into my swimming form. Ideally, by the triathlon in August, I'd like to be swimming a mile in the pool without stopping (the swim leg of the tri is 1100 meters).

On the bike, I'm currently up to about 10 miles. The bike part of the tri is 17.5 miles, so I want to be riding about 20-25 once a week or so heading up to the race. I think that is doable...

And running is...well....running. 3.5 miles is nothing compared to my normal half marathons and the Goofy Challenge I'm signed up for next January. Although, my friend Jehiah has issued a challenge to me through Nike+, so I better get a couple of runs a week in!

Speaking of Nike+, I'll be recalibrating for this challenge, and hopefully will get my running stats back on the blog.
