As the title says, I've decided to start getting up at 6am to get my exercise in. Even then, Noah is having problems if I am gone. Since we sleep in a family bed, he knows when I leave it, and this morning I got back from my run only to hearing heartfelt wailing coming from the bedroom. He won't be soothed by anyone but me, hence I can't go to the gym and leave him in the daycare yet. So I hope I can ease out of bed and get a run, ride or swim in before he wakes up.
I'm now able to run a mile without stopping, which is a victory itself. I realize that I have to run two more miles, plus have bike and swum before it, but I am now confident I can do it.
I am a competitive person, although sometimes I forget that. My friend Stephanie did her first triathlon a couple of weeks ago. That has spurred my competitive nature. Why can't I do one, too? I can! So I will. I am still having problem with my right lower leg. I don't think it's an achilles tendon, it feel more like a middle calf muscle, if that makes sense.
I've also started swimming laps in my pool, although it is so short that I take 5 strokes and I have to turn around again! I can't wait to get up to the cape so I can do open water swimming in the ponds and do a longer distance.
