Day 23 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)


Today was a lot of fun and started out by taking Maddie to the zoo.  It was pretty nice out today and as Maddie was taking her nap I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go for a run or swim, so I did both!  I hopped in the pool and swam about 600 yards (sprint triathlon is 437 yards).  Then I came inside, changed clothes and went out to run 5k.  I was feeling alright and on a good pace, but cramped up a bit around the 3k mark and had to take it easy.  I really should have put more thought into hydrating properly before doing all this.  It was still pretty fun though and I had a great day.


Meals
Poached egg, toast
Turkey sandwich and wheat thins
Shakeology w/peanut butter & skim milk
Meatball sandwich
Chicken sausage


Favorite Meal
It wasn't exactly the healthiest thing I could have ate, but if I'm going to be honest it was my favorite meal and was delicious.  I just didn't think to take a picture.
