Back on the workout schedule today following a 4-day vacation in Key West. The break from working out wasn't planned but in the end, it really felt good to get a time-out from the swim, bike, run routine. Today, it was full on!
It was a run ladder today pushing all the way from L1 to L5 in the heat. It was so hot out there but I successfully completed the entire ladder and actually felt good having had four days off. Have I mentioned yet that I love people who water their grass during my run times??? Started another attempt at nutrition planning today (there's always some sort of eating plan to try). Hoping to see a difference by the next event which is now going to be in August.
Glad to be back exercising especially considering a stressful work day! :)

Countdown to Ironman Arizona
About Me
- #Journey2U
- In 2003, I quit smoking after 12 years. I gained weight and took up cycling as a way to counter the weight gain. Fell in love with it, rode my first century and accepted a challenge to do a triathlon. In 2008, I did my first sprint triathlon. As of 2016, I am proud to say that I am a 4 time Ironman finisher. Following Ironman Louisville in 2016, I suffered a ruptured tendon and plantar plate tear. One major surgery later and a hardware removal one to boot, I am trying to go for #5. I hope to defy the odds and overcome what my MD thinks cannot be done. IMCHOO 2018 awaits me. Challenge accepted!
