Can it stop raining!

I know I should not complain, rain is a good thing, but it has rained pretty much every weekend so I haven't been able to take the new ride out. This weekend is also a bust so I'm hoping that next weekend will be a different story.

This past week was not a good week for me. I had a pretty rough work week and a few late nights in the office so I was horrible about my workouts but it happens, life happens, so we will just start again next week.

I still haven't purchased my hydration system for my new bike and need to the get rear wing on so when the weather does get nice I won't have any excuses. Plus I'm super excited about the data I'm going to get from my new Garmin 500. I'm a junky for workout data!!

Still waiting to hear about the June and July Olympic distance races but since an even scheduled for next weekend at the same location was canceled I'm not so confident that these events are going to happen.

Making my own decisions

It's now been 6 weeks of steady exercise, including sticking to the routine while on travel to India. My eating habits have wandered a bit but I know what I need to do. Recently I have decided that I'm going to live the life I want and not what everyone else wants. All my life I have been ruled by someone else making decisions, telling me what to do or wanting to make the right decisions to please everyone else but not really doing what I want. I realized the 1st time I made a decision / choice for myself was when I met my now husband and decided to marry him; 22 years later it still is the best decision I made. He has always supported me; which is something that is unusual for me an it's taken me awhile to realize this. I've always played life safe rather than risking and following my dreams/desires. Triathlon was my 2nd decision, by me and for me. I have neglected those desires because of work pressures. I realize that my current job wil...

2019...not starting off perfect

But does anything ever start out and finish perfect? I caught the hubby's cold, thought I battled it well but I was wrong and it took me down on New Years day but that was a rest day so no worries. Got up Wednesday, ready to start my new workout routine....wrong, felt worse than day before, so off to Urgent Care, got some drugs and fighting this. Decided to move workouts back by a day and cancel Sunday as a day off, besides I took New Years day off, as planned. Had a good workout today, still sticking to my running, biking, HITT plan but added strength training in starting today. My bike wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but doing something is what I take as a positive. I decided my goals/objectives for 2019 are simple: Live a healthier life! There is a lot of things behind that statement, I recently posted the below on FB and I want to ensure that every day, week, month and year I'm striving to improve my life - mentally, physical, relationships, etc. ...

4 WEEKS!

3/20/17 - 3/26/17 Swim - 0 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 0 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2017) Swim - 6,477 yds / 49,987 yds miles Bike - 28.8 miles / 426.2 miles Run - 16.87 miles / 96.3 mile Wow - thought I did better -guess not. No swimming this week and I wish I could say my shoulder feels better but NOT. Despite not hitting on my training sessions I feel those that I did were on point! Today was the last splurge weekend and the hubby is planning to stick with me, which I really appreciate. It makes it easier when dining out. I'm disappointed that I didn't drop any weight this week because overall I had a good nutrition week but that could be related to less activity. I still have several pounds I want to lose before race day so no splurges for the next 4 weeks hopefully will help with that. My nutrition plan is going very well - except I forgot how qui...

I'm Tri'ing
