What a perfect day to set a new goal for self improvement! Last night I started watching the movie Julie & Julia, which inspired me to start my own blog and challenge. I am a 2x Ironman triathlon finisher who has fallen off the exercise wagon since her last race four months ago. While training for my last Ironman, I missed many workouts due to vacations, illnesses, and just plain old laziness... which resulted in a less than stellar performance on race day. A daily blog will help keep me accountable to those training workouts.
The challenge has officially begun. In an Ironman race, athletes can swim, bike, run, walk, or crawl to the finish line. I don't walk during a race (except through aid stations) because I'm afraid that once I start, I won't be able to stop. Hopefully I'll never have to crawl! So that is my challenge - 365 days of swimming, biking, or running (walking only as a last-resort if I'm sick or injured).
Happy New Year!
This was my first workout of 2010 - riding on my indoor trainer in the dungeon. Hmmm... maybe I need to make the basement look a bit nicer if I'm going to post pictures of myself riding indoors in the winter.
