Becky is a Rockstar / Triathlon Progress

I am so happy that Becky encouraged me to try triathlon training. Now I admit I have not added swimming to my repetoire, but I have issues with messing up my hair and make-up! I was quite a fish in my youth, so I am not concerned about that portion of the training.

That said I have been focusing on the biking and running portions of the race. After a rather spectacular bike wipe out at age 14 I vowed to never ride a bike again. I did not ride again until my mid twenties and even then no more than a handful of times. I am pleased to report that I am really enjoying my rides! I find myself even contemplating replacing my $5 garage sale (PINK!) Schwinn for a faster model...I have increased my mileage to 10 miles 2x a week, with 4-5 mile runs and two weight lifting classes a week. I have not added in brick workouts yet, but I plan to soon. That is the scariest part of training for me.

But back to Becky. She has long told me how my body was too used the forms of exercise I was doing and I needed to change it up. How right she was! I am so happy to report that I went shopping this week and I am a full jeans size smaller! YIPPEE! I probably would have bought anything the sales girl brought me with that smaller tag that day, but I was content to leave with a pair of jeans and a denim pencil skirt.
