11 days until the triathlon.

I have been feeling great, following a 6 day a week workout schedule with once or twice a week doubling up on a swim and bike ride. My longest bike rides are 2 hours (and pretty continuous hills), I swim 30 -45 mins 2/3 times a week.  The most fabulous thing for me though is the running. I honestly kept to ‘doctors orders’ and didn’t do anything of any impact until I reached the three month mark – literally not even running across a road.  But at three months to the day I started with a 30 mins walk and inserted a couple of 3-5 minute runs within it.   As I reached home my husband was sitting outside the house and I think he saw my smile from way down the street as I rounded the corner.  Over the course of just three weeks I have got to 40 minutes of near continuous jogging.  It’s all very slow but feels amazing.  I’m so happy to have that activity back in my life – it’s so much more than physical; it’s my reflective thinking time.
