With the support of my husband and family, I’m really hoping to complete a Half-Ironman triathlon in early Spring next year, the end of March! I’ve loosely started training this week, mostly just adding swim time to my training. The hardest part about being on a “training schedule” is working it around Sophie. I’m so thankful for the gym I go to, because w/o their understanding, this would all be impossible!! Even training for my half-marathon! As many know, Taylor has been gone for 7 months now (we are on the home stretch though!!!) and doing any sort of fitness has been extremely hard w/o him here. But I want more than ever my daughter to learn that if she works hard enough for something, she can achieve anything in life! I think that is what pushes me and gives me this drive to be healthier and to be the best me I can be. It absolutely melts my heart when I’m doing core or weights workouts and she walks up and wants to join in! In just a few short weeks, I should have a real road bike and can seriously start training. But we have to get moved to the West Coast first!! So much is happening, it’s hard to wrap my mind around it all. So here is a look in to my training this past week:
