Training

Well, Christie and I had originally planned on doing the Legacy Center Triathlon this year, but since moved to other pastors. I tried training for the run (by far my biggest challenge) but the knees would not hack it. Braces, ibuprofen, etc., could not help me out, so we switched venues. We have registered for the Salt Lake City Marathon! Well, before you wonder what in the world I would be doing running a marathon when 3 miles were stopping me in the triathlon, Christie is running the half marathon and I am going to do the bike tour (by far my strongest event, if I was doing the tri). So Christie is busy constantly running so she get her 13.1 miles in on race day (she is up to 8, way to go!) and I have transformed from a mountain man to road, sans the actual road bike. I still ride my mountain with slicks. So my ride is 25 miles through half of Salt Lake County and I am pretty excited about it. I have an excuse to just go out and ride (though I still prefer the mountain) and relieve stress and anxieties. That is what Christie loves to, to be able to hit the road and not worry about anything for awhile. After losing the weight we did last year, we hope to duplicate or more our success and this is our first challenge to help us, this year. Wish us luck.
