I went for a run!

Well, that's a start I'd say... finally, no excuses, kids in bed by 8:30pm and I set out. It was still daylight which is always nice but it was sort of cloudy (and humid, yuck!) and cooler. I did my usual route and was surprised that after such a long time without doing a thing, I managed my (a little over) 4k run in a *normal* time for me. The time didn't matter much to me yesterday, I would have walked if needed but I didn't have to. The best was the amazing feeling after getting out there... felt soooooooo good, and feel so energetic today. Plus I weighed myself this am and to my surprise I haven't put any weight on, I have even lost a tiny little bit, woot!

So... here I go... I will try and see what happens... I assume/imagine, I will be doing a tri sometime. If it can be the one on Oct. 17th (I had a race in my city scheduled that day...) fine, if not, I'm sure there'll be lots more!

Monkey see, monkey do

So... I first had this *idea* to do a triathlon and was excited about it, but my butt's not moved yet -sigh- but then... last night, I hooked to my team online, corredors.cat and saw that one of my team members just completed a SPRINT triathlon, her and her boyfriend who's lost 25kg in 2 years and is new to sport. Geez... do I want to do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so jelaous... I wanted to do it, yes, but seing others do it, others that I know, that is, makes me want to do it even more... mine will be a SUPERSPRINT but still... I am not going to go crazy on doing perfect transitions... however it happens will be great! So... there we go again... wanting to do like others, although I already had the idea!

Psychologist appointment tonight... get the tissues ready! And then... hopefully on the go... I want to, I need to, I CAN!!!

Wake up Jacky!!!

Tuesday, July 27th... what the heck am I waiting for???? I ask that myself. I have more than a reason to get my behind up and going, yet there's something stoppping me. I wish the human brain wasn't so complicated -sigh- or me, for the matter!!!! I have 3 wonderful little children who are my #1 fans, always encouraging me. During the day I feel so sure I'll go for a run in the evening. The evening comes and I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo tired that I actually talk myself out of it... I'm self-sabotaging myself, why? Why? Why????????

I have a pshychologist appointment on Weds. Hopefully he can get me moving... won't like what I'll have to hear/say but... if it's got to help... I'm all for it!

I'm still looking at October 17th with pride... I always "critizise" (sp?) people who make castles in the air, but look at me... thinking of a tri and not training at all... slap!

I'll try tonight... if not, I better get my rear end in gear... a 10K on August 8th... I'll try getting up in the am... it's never worked but I can keep trying!

Geez... what a mess I am, but I know I can... I just gotta take that little step and keep going!!!

Info

Just thought I'd share the link to the tri to get used to it. Here it is: www.garminbarcelonatriathlon.com

I really have to get in gear... haven't trained in 2 months I think... I just need that little speck to get going!

Will it happen? I hope so! I am assuming the SUPERSPRINT triathlon will have lots of newbies to the sport and that's what I'd be shooting for... wow... will I remember how to bike? LOL, don't know if I'll remember how to bike and I'm thinking about a tri... that's me 100%!

Me? Tri?

I hardly have time to keep up with one blog and look at me... onto a second one, LOL!

So yes... I think I found what I needed to get my motivation back (I think). I saw a friend comment on Facebook about the Barcelona Garmin Triathlon and hey... something lit up... why not? There's a supersprint one, a sprint and an Olympic... the supersprint is 400m swimming, 9,6kms biking and 2,5kms run... not bad to begin with... I thought of going straight to the sprint: 750, 20 and 5 but then again... it's on Oct. 17th and thought... better start little!

So I think I'm going to go for it. We'll see what happens! Need to find a bike and my swimming cap!

Let's see how this *adventure* goes!
