trying to get back into it...

[thegypsy]

Well I have realized, that all my work outs have been brute force, lifting tires, swinging 16lb sledge hammers, dragging tires type of late. Leaving my cardio woefully deficient, so I am trying to remedy that. Especially since I prefer cardio that grinding my nose to the books

you know, i believe the austin triathalon is in July or Aug every year. maybe if you are grooving on a year of the running/biking/swimming, you might look at entering it next year as a little LookWhatICanDo goal :)

I thought about it, but isn't it one of those insane swim 1mi, run 26mi, bike 100mi ers?

What's your running pace? You *might* convince me, if it's not out in the brutal heat and you're slow enough :)

I think triathlons tend to be swimming 1/2-1 mile, running 5 or so miles, and riding maybe 10-15? I can't recall, but it's not as brutal as your numbers in the above post! LOL I think the 26 miles (marathon distance) of running alone is more than most people can handle in one day :)

I might have been thinking of the ironman triathalons.

I tend to do my runs in the morning around 8am, and I am running around 9min miles.

very nice! I think you are probably too fast for me right now, but perhaps in a few weeks when I ramp back up...
