Did it!
Just finished W9D3!!! I ran 35 minutes ( through the last brisk walk) for a total of 2.7 miles. While I feel great about it I am holding off a big I DID IT until I can actually finish 5K (3.1 miles). I've never run before and I am on the far side of middle-aged so I am pretty darn thrilled. I did sign up for a Sprint Tri…

W9D1 done!
I suppose I could have waited until I completed all of Week 9 but I had to crow a bit because I am just so proud of myself for actually briskly jogging the entire 30 minutes!

The other is that I ran at 5.5 mph! I need to mention that I am a 57 year old wife and mother of a teenager (became a mom late in life).…

YWCA Triathalon - August 14 - Minneapolis MN
My first post ever: I am 57 years old and have been wanting to try the YWCA Tri for three years after watching two friends do it. I wasn't able to make it happen for various reasons.
