I am signed up for the Grand Man Triathlon. I have started to train specifically for this and I guess this blog is as good a place as any to track my efforts. I started my journey last February after a co-worker (thanks Blaine) asked my to run in the Miles for Maggie. This was a fund raising 5K for a friend. I signed both Annette and myself up; since misery loves company. I weighed 240 lbs when I started. I have lost just over 50 lbs and want to get down to 170 before the Grand Man on June 4, 2011.
On Sunday, Jan 1st, I did quarter mile "sprints" (sprints for me, light jogging for real runners) for 2 1/2 miles. Then I rode a stationary bike for 10 miles. I can tell you that I have a long way to go. I could barely walk off the bike. But I guess, I have to start somewhere.
On January 3rd, I ran a 5K on the treadmill and then yesterday I did disc #1 of P90X (Chest and Back). Today, I can barely lift the suitcase. I know, I need some cheese to go with this whine.
More to come.... wish me luck.
