Follow along as I, an average citizen, train for my first ever triathlon.

No More Working Out

I'm not working out any more.



From now on I'm "in training."

Ha!  You didn't think I was quitting did you?  No way, Jose.  I'm still 100% committed to completing a triathlon this year.  That's why I now consider myself "in training" rather than merely "working out."  A distinction of semantics* perhaps, but meaningful to me.

I've altered my goals slightly.  I decided to run my first half-marathon in early May so my first triathlon will now be in mid-June to give me time to recover.

*When I first typed "semantics" I spelled it "symantecs" and was genuinely puzzled when spell check underlined it.  I was sure that's how it's spelled.  And it is.  Symantec is a software manufacturing company.   I'll bet you've heard of it too because,  apparently, their marketing is so prevalent their name etched in my brain deeply enough to erase and replace an actual word.

Just enter one so you have a for-sure goal... Then you'll "have to" do it. (Sort of.) In training has a much better ring to it--it gives the work outs much more purpose. Go, Kendra, go!
