Did You Know I Feel Like I am Falling Apart?

Did you know I feel like I am falling apart?

I have always like to exercise. And as I've trained for triathlons and a half marathon, I have put lots of stress on my aging body! I have long suffered from knee pain and found no real joint pain relief aside from wearing a knee brace when doing any running and some cycling. I have suffered foot injuries, with this go round being the longest and most dejecting (here's to hoping my orthotics come in SOON!) And with this bout of stomach bug, I have hit the wall so to speak. It is so dejecting to think that I am not getting stronger with all my exercise, but just wearing myself out! After spending the last two days in bed, I am glad that I got in a good workout today. Hopefully, my body can recover and move on to getting stronger now!

Did You Know We Are Training by Time?

Did you know we are training by time ?

In training for our triathlon, my husband got a training schedule which has us training by time instead of distance. In some ways this is almost freeing. I don't have to worry about marking out routes, figuring out mileage or counting laps. We just swim/bike/run til our time is up! The times vary and increase but so far, I think I like it!
