A new year a new goal

So... marathoners... I haven't posted here for a long time, but it helped me so much on my way to running a marathon that I thought I would post about my latest physical challenge- trying a triathlon! Yahoo!

A friend of mine and I will be doing the Saratoga Springs Sprint Triathlon on June 5th. We're doing a pretty intense 13 week training schedule but we're really excited about it!

So if you want to join in, go for it! Let's motivate each other like we did for our marathons! Truly I'm more intimidated by a triathlon. I'm not really a swimmer or a biker, so we'll see how it goes!

April,

That sounds so exciting! I'm running a Ragnar Relay in Feb. I should post here more too...I definitely need some extra motivation! Good luck!

April,

That's really exciting! Triathlons are the way to go...if you ask me. But you didn't and I'm telling you anyway!

You'll find a sprint distance to be a piece of cake compared to a full marathon. Swimming is like learning to run...you just have to get into a rhythm.

I'd love to join you but I'm probably going to be doing the 9 month long marathon this year--can't wait to hear about your adventures though! Good luck!
