Triathlon Challenge

One of my good friends, Scott, has been working hard to get into shape lately.

I, on the other hand, have been working hard at avoiding the gym.

Yesterday Scott decided to challenge me to a triathlon. Oh yeah. I've done tris the past two summers and decided this past summer that I wouldn't do another one this upcoming summer. Eh, got bored.

Until I got challenged of course! Muahahaha... I love a good challenge!

I've obviously agreed to the challenge (with the pending agreement of a handicap, since boys are ALWAYS faster than girls). So now I will turn to you, bloggers, as inspiration.

I will post my workouts every week, day pending, to track my progress (and make sure I'm actually doing something). Training will suck for awhile, since its WINTER IN MINNESOTA, but thats all right. I've got a gym membership and I know how to use it.

Time to break out the dusty workout guides and start training again. I'd better update my Ipod music selection - time to get inspired to run (god running sucks).

Another good form of inspiration : my hubs might think that Scott can beat me. Must.prove.him.wrong.

Any helpful hints out there?! I'd love to hear ANY HINTS regarding working out, motivation, and triathlons. I'm by no means an expert.
