So I have a few things on my bucket list that I’d like to accomplish in the next year… a trip to Europe and to complete the Danskin Triathalon.
Well, if you don’t know me or haven’t seen me….I am fat. Yep, I am! I know it and I’m tired of it, but as a first year teacher I’m exhausted at the end of the day. I’m not a morning person either, so it makes it hard to workout or feel like working out. I’m also lazy! At the beginning of blogging I was saying that I wanted to be a yes woman…but I’m not.
I’m telling you all this, because I need to do something about it. We are going to Europe this coming summer for two weeks and we are planning on taking trains and walking a lot. I need to get in shape to be able to do this comfortably and not feel like I’m dying everyday. So what do I do to get going, because I’m still not super motivated.
This is where bucket list item two comes in...the Danskin Women’s Triathalon. I have dreamed of doing this since I heard about it over ten years ago. It is a ½ mile swim, a 12 mile bike ride and a 3.1 mile run…and I know I can do the swim, but the rest would be a challenge. I’m nervous about making a fool out of myself but I want to make a change.
This is my plan, I’m going to get my butt walking. If I start walking then hopefully I’ll lose weight and then I can also add in some running to my walking (hopefully). There is an 8 week training schedule for the rest of it and so I can focus on that in the spring. I am going to hold myself accountable using this blog…so keep checking back and feel free to give me a bad time. Also, if you are interested in joining me in this venture…let me know!
