Day 14 of 45

(I've made the decision and commitment to step up my health and fitness in preparation for my first sprint triathlon.  I plan on keeping a daily journal on my progress.  Check out my plans here: http://bit.ly/ixs0xO)


It was a bit of a scorcher out but I got myself back on track with my workout plan.  I had decided I would use the Insanity rest days to work on one of the individual events of the sprint triathlon.  Last week I hopped on an exercise bike, today I went for a run in 95 degree heat and was soaked afterwards (see pic on the bottom, lol).  It felt good, but I realized that I need to really stick to the program as the run was tough.  I might need to incorporate some more running into my training.


By the way I used the Andriod app  miCoach by Adidas and it was pretty cool.  It uses GPS to track you stats and syncs with an online website.  There's a graph after your workout that shows your speed/intensity throughout the run and it cracked me up because you could pinpoint the times where I had to stop or slow down in order to pull up my pants.  I haven't bought any new workout/basketball shorts since I've lost the 40+ pounds and the ones I have don't fit too well.  So as I'm running I had to kind of tuck my shorts into my underwear so they wouldn't fall down.  Why am I telling you all this?  I don't know, but it wasn't embarrassing; in fact, I'm sort of proud to tell the story because it's just another example of how far I've come.
