So in preparation for my wedding (June 11, 2011) I have started to diet and exercise. Approximately 10 weeks ago I began by changing my diet. I started following weight watchers. In doing so I have lost an average of 2 lbs a week since inception. Along the way I reconnected with my girlfriends from high school and we began taking walks 2-3 times a week. We started with shorter 1 mile walks and soon learned we could easily do a 5 K walk. I even started going for walks when my friend were unavailable.
Now jump forward, during one of our walks I came up with a crazy idea....why not set a goal like a 5K , and one friend joked...why not a triathlon.
The thought stuck in my head , and I started to realize I could jog a 5K (~11 minute mile), and started looking around for a good 5 K and run across information on Triathlons. Did you know that there are different types of triathalons? I didn't! So my new goal was set , I would do a Sprint Distance Traithalon. (1/2 Mile Swim, 12 Mile Bike Ride , 5K Run) . My goal is set , and I am all regsitered. I will complete a Woman's Triathlon on September 12, 2010 in Farmington, CT. This blog will be my public diary of taking my overweight 35 year old body and coming back to my glory.
