Well still updating this and have not made anyone aware of my blog as of yet... not sure why.. maybe I want more content, maybe I am doing this for me or something who knows. Anyways this weekend was great for working out, I managed to get my first 50km bike ride in on Saturday. Got up early and I was getting ready when my friend Text me and said " are you ready to ride" She has been a great help and inspiration, having done HIM last year and doing some smaller triathlons in the past. She has been and continues to be a valuable resource for everything. Thank goodness she was not feeling well and was able to ride with me. Considering her pace is so much faster then mine. We averaged about 26 km/hr and the ride was about 1 hr 52 mins long. It felt great to get 50km in for the first time. I will have to admit that I had to two laps of my block to officially get over the 50km, but I don't care I did it.
Followed that up with a quick scuba dive on sunday to make sure my gear was in order for an upcoming dive trip in a few weeks. Jumped in quick in crappy water in Sarnia, then went for lunch with my wonderful wife and the dive shop that was teaching up there. After that ran to the mall and over to the Running room to get a hydration belt.
Monday, thats tonight now. I was able to try out the Profile Designs 4 bottle hydration/fuel belt out. It can carry 4 bottles, I used only two for my run today, but I think hydrating on the walking portion of my run did help me. I did 4km for the first time tonight and it didn't feel like I had to push hard to get there. Starting to enjoy running a little now as I am seeing some great progression and I am not having to push so hard to get the run done.
Now I know I have to step up this week and next on my running program so it is going to get hard again. But with the support of my wife and my determination to change and ensure I am healthy and around for a long time in this life I know I can do it no problem.
Through all of this my wife has been very supportive and done many things around the house to ensure I can make it on some of my work outs. I can't ask for better support.
