Triathlon Training

As you may or may not know, I started training for a triathlon last month (January). The prospect of completing a race like this is really invigorating and a little bit scary. Having exercise induced asthma makes something like this a very daunting challenge. Because of the asthma it takes me quite awhile to build up the breathing endurance, and often I get impatient. This past week of training was one of those times. Training really kicked my butt.  It was truly an act of the will to drag myself to the Y everyday knowing that I wouldn't leave for at least and hour and a half. After the workouts I always feel great but in the midst of them I would question why I was putting myself through this torture.  Thankfully, I am not training for this race alone and my fellow trainers were there to encourage and pick me up. I think that this will definitely be a test of my self discipline and my will. I am encouraged to have already seen results, but I know that I still have a long road ahead of me. 

Here's to a test of my will!
