Today I skipped my long bike ride in the morning because I was feeling a bit sore from yesterday’s long run (plus some of the workouts from the last few days) and I decided I needed a rest. One of the things I’ve been guarding against the most is overtraining, so when I feel tired, [...]

This will be a report of my last few days of training as I’ve been a bit busy. :
Eating: I’ve been eating fairly healthy, only overeating once (went out for dinner with the wifey and had lotsa pasta and garlic bread). I’ve been eating light and actually losing weight this week! I had been gaining [...]

I haven’t had time in the last few days to do my daily report, but rest assured that I’ve been eating fairly healthy again and exercising. I’m pressed for time right now so I’m going to give you a quick rundown of the last 3 days … to see more details of my eating and [...]

Posted in Races on May 18, 2008 | 13 Comments »
I’m happy to report that I finished my first sprint triathlon this morning! I feel tired but really great. Here’s a report:
Background: I’m a runner but a complete novice in cycling and swimming (just started a month ago). So my goal for this first sprint tri was just to finish and have a good time. [...]
Long Run Saturday 05.17.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 17, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Did an 8-mile run this morning, not exactly a “long run” but the longest I’ve done since the marathon. It was so great! One interesting note is that my long run pace seems to be much faster these days, even though it seems like I’m running really easy. I’m about 2 minutes faster during my [...]
Triathlon Tomorrow!

It’s now Saturday morning for me, and my first sprint triathlon is tomorrow morning! I’m super excited.
To give you some background, I’ve done a “super-sprint” triathlon before … 400m swim, 6-mile bike, 3K run … but that was much easier and was a year and a half ago … I completely stopped biking and swimming [...]
Not My Best Day – Fri 05.16.08 Report
Posted in Uncategorized on May 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have to admit that I skipped exercise today (not so bad) and then ate at Taco Bell for dinner (not so great). :)
I was going to do my bike ride in the morning, but felt tired so I took the day off. An extra rest day is actually a good thing before my triathlon [...]
Easy, Snacking Day – Thu 05.15.08 Report
Posted in Daily Reports on May 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I had planned to do a medium bike ride this afternoon but skipped it … so I only did an easy four-mile run this morning. I don’t feel guilty, though, as I’m cutting back a little this week so I can be rested for my triathlon this Sunday. I’ll do the bike ride tomorrow morning.
So [...]

Hi guys … I’ve missed you all! I was away for a couple of days and couldn’t log, until yesterday. So I’m going to give you an abbreviated report for the last few days, with only yesterday’s food log if you don’t mind. :)
First, exercise … after taking a rest day on Sunday, I did [...]
Success and Frustration — Weekend Report
Posted in Daily Reports, Races on May 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Yesterday (Saturday) I ran a race that was both successful and extremely frustrating. I did a 5K, not as my goal race but just to see where my fitness is … and as I haven’t done a 5K since last year, I decided to try to set my PR (which as of last year was [...]
