Good Run!

Now that I am back in action in the training program, I will keep you all up to date with a little more detail. I had a short run this evening around the neighborhood. I ran 2 miles in 17:14, which is pretty good considering my run progress thus far.

I really enjoyed wearing my new Nike running shorts...wow what a difference from the other cotton shorts I have been wearing. These shorts are light weight and wick the sweat away as I run and it makes a difference, believe me. I am slowly learning that the gear is nearly as important as the training itself in some circumstances. For example, a good pair of goggles can make a swim workout much more enjoyable than a bad pair, which can actually ruin it.

Tomorrow, I have 20 minute swim scheduled and that should wrap up week number 6. 7 weeks until race day! I am starting to get excited. Next week, I have to purchase a wetsuit...Oh my gosh, what a decision. There is so much to learn about this sport....
