In an all out attempt to get myself in shape for camp, I have taken my treadmill-babied Sauconys outdoors for for a quick 1-mile run nearly every night for the past week or so. I completed my first run in 13 minutes and 19 seconds and have had some improvement -- 12:19, 12:19, 12:36, 11:49, 11:39. Once I can complete the mile in 11:00, I will take it to 2 miles and then 3 miles. My running goal is to run a sub 30 minute 5K at the Valley Marathon on Thanksgiving Sunday.
I am also competing in a triathlon in a month. I will enter the Pictou YMCA Super Sprint Triathlon on 24-July. I will be swimming in the Northumberland Strait for 200M, then biking 8K and running 2K. I draw my triathlon inspiration from Lisa Bentley, one of the greatest female triathletes of all time. She has won 11 championships at the Ironman distance and ...wait for it ... she has Cystic Fibrosis.
