What a Joke

I have been so bad about training for the upcoming tri in June...
like crazy lazy and
it's-going-to-actually-kill-me-this-time
bad about training!

a friend and I have planned to go running this morning around 9...
and if I don't flake on her (this is the 3rd run we've scheduled together and I flaked on the other 2)....
then if I actual meet up and run with her this will be the 3rd time in the month of April that I've actually gone running!
What?
yeah, you read that right....
I'm 'training' for a triathlon and I have only run 3 times this month!
well, not 3 times...IF I run today that will make it 3 times...and I have till Saturday to make it 7 times...IF I were to run EVERY day this week I will have only run 7 times the entire month of April...
yeah I blogged my training goals back in Feb...and I was supposed to be running 3 times a week...NOT month!

one of those runs WAS a 5K that I did...
without running almost all winter I signed up for a 5K.
knowing that it would force me to 'train'...
and guess what, I didn't, I totally flaked
showed up the day of the race planning on just walking the whole thing...I actually ended up running most of it and felt pretty good minus the shakes from taking one too many 'hits' from my inhaler....
yeah...my allergies, asthma and overall 'winter lungs' have put a major bump in my running!

My training goals also included swimming
crazy me...I have swimming down in my tri training...
was supposed to swim at least 7x in April...still have yet to swim ONCE...not once..
I WILL go tomorrow...I PROMISE....

oh, and biking...
yeah, but I don't have a bike...
I will also make a call on that today, I have a lead on a bike I might be able to borrow, need to get in into my possession!

okay...so my purpose in today's blog was to embarrass myself into training for this tri.
Or maybe it was more of a confession of my non-training sins and then my penance
(is that the word, I'm not sure since I'm not Catholic)
is to now kick it into gear and over train in the 6 weeks I have left until the actual event!

and if you have stayed with me while I drone on about my failing to train...
your job as my friends is to please keep my accountable...
ask me if I have been running...
if I have hit the pool (at all) or the lake (CRAZY)...
if I have found a bike...and ridden said bike...
please keep me accountable because if I actually die in the triathlon then I will hold all of you as accessories in my death!
