With summer time around the corner, despite the fact that it was 38 degrees this morning, that means an end to racing season until fall. Running and heat are not fun, plus it’s a good time to get ready for next season and gives me time to like running again. I plan to do one of my last running races this coming weekend. I put racing on the back burner in the summer time. That doesn’t mean I’m going to stop running. I’m going to continue my normal routine, just with less to no races.
With that being said, what about triathlons??? I just don’t know if I’m ready to do one or not. Ever since Ben got into half ironman training last year, I have been biking and swimming also. I have finally gotten to where I feel comfortable on a bike, even though I still don’t know how to change a flat tire. I try to go for a bike ride at least twice a week and I normally go swimming with Ben when he goes at lunch. I’m just worried that it will take away from my running, but at the same time I need something other than running so I continue to enjoy it. The other thing about triathlons is they are so expensive. With running all you need are your running shoes and a watch. Doing tri’s involves so much more, and its stuff that I don’t have. I’m going to see how this weekend goes and go from there! Thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be great!
