Training Summary

At present, my big training event is the MiamiMan Triathlon on November 14 2010.    .6 Swim, 22 miles bike, and 6.6 miles running.   So everything is really being done to support that and my training.  After I complete that goal I want to do a half marathon – I have a LONG way to go.  Please note that prior to my last pregnancy I was already finishing sprint triathlons – so I am not starting completely from scratch – although it certainly feels that way and looks that way.

Please note that my one big  hurtle is that my husband travels a lot.  So on days that he is away I can’t bike, swim or run – I am stuck walking or doing a DVD.

Events:   Sept. 9th 5K, Sept 23rd 5K;   October 3rd Sprint Tri ,  October 23rd 10K; November 14th The big one…. (pray for me)

Best Times (post pregnancy): 10:46 mile
