training, training, training

OK, so I have to confess I have been totally into working out lately. In fact, it has become quite an obsession. During that last few months I have purchased a Fuji mountain bike. My goal is to compete in next years Western State Games triathlon. My father-in-law competed in this past years triathlon and totally rocked at it. So I have been inspired, to say the least.
So I have been hitting it hard and dramatically cleaning up my diet. In a previous blog I talked about my liver issues, and I am still waiting to see a specialist on October 6th. However, the liver issues have really helped keep me accountable to a clean diet. I haven't touched soda or alcohol since finding out the news, which is really good for me because I tend to lean toward a dependency on junk food and liquor. So, here is my schedule so far:
Sunday- I try to bike around the town for 15-20 miles
Monday- I take a day off for rest
Tuesday- Go to the Y and run~ 5K-10K and swim
Wednesday- Bike to work, but take an extended route~ 15 miles
Thursday- Bike to work~ 11miles, and run~ 5K
Friday- Bike to work~ 11 miles, and run~ 5K
Saturday- I take a day off for rest

I'm still working on it and it changes from week to week, so who knows. This week I'm preparing for "The Great Pumpkin 10K" this coming up Saturday morning." Wish me luck
