The BIG THREE

Well my eating has gone real well this week, after a surprise trip to Chattanooga last weekend where I got off the eating plan for the whole weekend we are back and working hard. I have riden my bike a couple times this week for over 20 miles and I have run a couple of times this week for 3 miles at a time, and I went swimming twice this week, once with my neighbor Jason who really helped me understand my form better. I have been amazed at how friendly and helpful people are, and how much they want to help. It is relly awsome. Kim and I went bike riding with the Ridge Rider club on Monday night and we did not know one of them, but they were all as helpful as could be and the leader, Jim, rode beside me for a while talking about swimming and offering to come help me out with my technique. I know I am not near the conditioned athlete that many in the club are or others that have actually done triathlons, but they make one who is just trying to lose a little weight in get in shape like one who belongs.

My plan for the Conway CATS tri is off, I have to leave for Portland on that day, so it looks like my only two chances to do a triathlon this summer will be the bike and run part of the one Jason and I are doing on the 24th of this month, the one in Forest City on the 15th of next month, or the Degray Lake on Aug 20th. I am very confident I could do the bike and run part today, it's that swim I am a little worried about.

WEIGHT UPDATE COMING TOMORROW!!
