Joined Teena and Smooth (and Rylee and Larry) at Gold's Gym to do a sprint triathlon.  It was just what I needed!!  And it was so fun to see them. :)

My running isn't at it's greatest right now (understandably) so I find myself, like I did when I was injured earlier this year, not having as much motivation to work hard since I don't get out of my workouts what I really want (that burn in my lungs and the nice tired muscles from running lots of hard miles...etc.)  So this was fun to do and it helped revive things for me.  I tried to work as hard as I could, but there's just a "slug" factor I have to work against right now.  So considering, it was a good workout for sure!  I'm not sure that I'll ever race a triathlon, but it was still fun.  I'm still thinking I would prefer the simplicity of starting at the beginning of a race, running my heart out to the end, and then I'm done. =0) 

Thanks Teena!  I know she's really busy right now, so it was nice of her to do this with me. :)  And thanks Smooth and Larry for traveling all that way so you could come.  Let's do this again!

Sounds like fun. If I could swim I would love to try a tri.

Thanks guys! Yes RAD, you'll have to come do one sometime! Toby, that's funny because I've got pregnant women all around me running marathons and giving birth 7 hours letter, pregnant mom's at the gym doing 30+ burpee's at about 6 months pregnant...I thought I wasn't doing enough LOL. :)
