I have not been good about staying current with blogging, but now that I am three weeks into my ½ ironman training plan and was heckled by an old lady while running last night I figured it is time to write.
You read that correctly…heckled by an old lady. During my run yesterday this lady started shouting, “Run, Forrest, Run” repeatedly. I don’t know how to react to this; should I take that as a compliment or an insult. Little did the lady know that down the street it would turn pseudo-Forrest Gump because a group of neighborhood kids began to run behind me for awhile. Like I have stated before, I hope that people see me exercise and it inspires them to do the same. I guess mission accomplished…somewhat.
Since starting this workout plan I feel like I am in a perpetual state of exhaustion. My legs feel tired all day, everyday. Despite feeling this way I continue to push through personal best times during workouts. I usually bike longer and at a greater intensity than the workout plan calls for since I am riding with a group out of the local bike shop. I hope that this doesn’t turn out to backfire on me down the road. In the mean time I plan to keep pushing as hard as my body will allow while looking forward to an active recovery week coming up soon.
I will try to be better about blogging more frequently, incorporating pictures, and any interesting tips or stories that happen along the way. For anyone that takes the time to read this: I hope to see you on the race course soon!
