Not Bad ...

First of all, why am I the only one updating this? I know Ms. Gen is rarely near a computer, but Ms. Amber, I say you have no excuse! :-p

So I've been bad about working out lately - ridiculously stressed, working a lot (stupid work) and generally emotionally unstable. Yeah, it's fabulous. Despite all that crap, however, I managed to have two bright points this week:
1. I ran stairs at Red Rocks on Thursday (for like 15 minutes, but it still counts).
2. Though I got talked into working a split shift at work (6-11am and now 5-10pm), I forced myself to go on a nice long bike ride. Was out for about an hour and thanks to RunningMap.com (which is one of the coolest sites ever, i might add), figured out that the ride was about 10 miles long.

While that might not be the best pace (before i was estimating the 12.1 for the tri in about 45min), I would like to point out that a.) I'm really not in my best shape right now and b.) I rode from my house down to a good chunk of the C-470 bike trail (from yosemite to colorado) and back, which happens to be a LOT hillier than the course will be.

Basically all this proves is that the cycling part will be my strongest during the Tri, which is something I already knew. But with all the setbacks and lack of good training lately, I need a silver lining, damnit.




And speaking of the Tri, not to scare everyone or anything, but it's basically in TWO MONTHS. That's right, 60 days ... I'm trying hard not to think that I'm screwed, but part of me really thinks I am ...
