Butterfly Kisses - Triathlons and Event Producing

Day Thirteen and Fourteen

So after another break from training I have started up again in the last 2 days. 

Renate (my friend from Norway) agreed to come running with me in the mornings to help me stay on track with my training. 

We did the 5km loop around the neighborhood.

Day Thirteen: 8:25am

Pressed snooze for 5mins

8:30am

Crawled out of bed and changed into light workout gear

8:50am 

The suns rays were shining into my room making the illusion that it was indeed warm outside that morning. 

To my surprise yesterday morning it was the exact opposite of warm.

As we started running at a fairly quick pace I could feel the cool breeze as I tried to get my breathing into a rhythm. No luck…the cold air felt like stones going down my windpipe and let me tell you … its a horrible feeling. 

9:15am

Stretched and did abs…I think you could hear us half way across the neighborhood pain after each set of abs. 

Day Fourteen: 8:25am

Pressed snooze yet again for 5mins

Had to resort to my musical inspiration to wake up and turned on my Rockstar playlist. 

Kristian … Renate’s husband decided to tag along on a bike and joined us for our now morning ritual. 

8:55am

The cold air rushing down my windpipe happened a little later then yesterday but yet again it was cold and windy out…(sun shining and everything)

Today’s run was difficult. 

I remember thinking ok so I just need to finish … this is my training…ok….almost there….ok….dying….ok breathe…ok….damn 3 more blocks.

9:20am

Turning down my driveway and running into the back yard has never felt sooo good.
