How I did it: Checked lots of labels! You would not believe how many foods (even those being marketed as "healthy") have HFCS! Now i automatically check the label and am starting to remember which foods are off limit. Read how I did it…
How I did it: i started out slow, not able to run the entire intervals in week 1, so i repeated week 1. The first five weeks of the program i ran faithfully, and improved a lot, then repeated part of week 5 because i had trouble running that long. In week 6 i bought new shoes, and they gave me blisters, then i got sick, and had finals, so the program fell by the wayside. For 10 weeks i had winter break, worked full time, and got sick … Read how I did it…
i went down to the post office this afternoon, filled out the form, had my photo taken, and paid $115. It was very easy and rather anti-climatic. i should get my passport (and birth certificate back) in about a month they said.
This goal was just sitting in the bottom of my list of goals because i didn’t have any new goals forcing it out. Surprisingly enough, now i actually have a reason to get a passport! My grandma is going to take me and two of my sisters on a Mediterranean cruise this fall, so i’ll probably be applying for my passport sometime next week. i actually was starting to think that i would never have a reason to get a passport, and now i’m going to visit six cities in twelve days.
So i’m all registered for my first sprint triathlon (swim 500m, bike 16 mi., run 5k) and have been training 5-6 days a week. The last two weeks have been really hard, but tonight’s run was awesome, which is great because even though running is what got me started in this (i started running last fall and ran my first 5k on May 2) it has probably been my weakest of the three sports since i started training. i haven’t swam competitively in about ten years, but my swimming is going great, i just need to get used to swimming with practically no visibility at the moment. My biking was progressing really well but has been the toughest thing the past two weeks. Tomorrow i will attempt to finish my first twenty mile ride, but i’m going to stop trying to go up big hills and just ride a easier, funner route (the distance is really a big enough challenge right now!). As i said, my run went great tonight and i actually felt as if i was resting too long in the walk intervals, so i’ll probably push myself a bit more in my running this week. Tonight was my first 5k since May 2 and i felt much stronger tonight even after working on my feet for 9 hours. Last week i wasn’t sure if i would be able to make it, but right now i feel like i can do anything, maybe not with the best time, but i’m going to finish this race. i’ve been training in earnest for eight weeks now, i think it’s going to pay off.
