Due to a knee injury keeping me out of training for several weeks, I am not participating in the Beach Blast II triathlon September 12th. I have just recently re-started my training but I am far from the condition I need to be for a race in 9 days. Bummer...
The injury really messed up my motivation to continue with the training. I have shifted gears and after re-evaluating my goals - I still want to complete a sprint triathlon (or duathlon) -- the next Beach Blast will be in April 2010. I will try for a couple 5k runs this fall & winter. I love the challenge but I have to find a way to keep my knee happy.
I gave up coffee this week and I have passed the headache stage. Since my coffee always had cream & sugar I was adding more than a few empty calories. This morning the scale said I have lost 1.5 pounds!!! Wow! Btwn the coffee and the snacking at night my weight never seemed to improve. Maybe, I am finally on the right path to getting fit.
