Back in June, my friends the Pol & the Pac and I committed to training for and racing in Ironman Brazil on May 31, 2010. I decided to create this blog as a way to chart my journey along the way.
This will be my second Ironman race, the first being IM Arizona in April 2005. A lot has changed in my life since then. In spite of being 5 years older(!) I'm thinking and hoping thatI will be better prepared for Brazil, and will hopefully beat my time from AZ.
Decided to finally post today, although I created this blog back in June, cuz training officially started yesterday! My new coach has crafted a vey detailed workout regimen for me which I hope I can follow. Not being the most detail-oriented person, this will be a bit of an adjustment.
For today, I did a 40 minute easy run this morning, some core strengthening exercises at lunch, and have a swim scheduled for later today. My body is already protesting after a couple months of general laziness. But, I have to say it feels good to finally get on a regular schedule again.
In addition to the detailed workouts, he also wants me to keep a daily log of my resting heart rate and weight(!) For anyone that knows me, I ain't gonna enjoy the second one.
Ok, well that's it for now, hopefully I will post again soon!
