\nMy motivation has been very high this week, since I just made the decision to do this triathlon and am excited. I’m looking forward to the improvement I should see in my body. Because of this motivation, I was able to get myself to workout all but one day, even when I wasn’t entirely in the mood.
\n 
\nIn a single workout, I have biked 12 miles; and have run 3.1 miles at once, too. But so far, I have only swum 1000 feet at a time. I really need to work on my swimming more often. Going on a bike ride is by far the easiest workout, especially when I’m feeling low-energy. I have to try to go running and swimming more often, because I really don’t need much bicycle training.
\n 
\nMy single running workout so far was on a treadmill, because jogging bores me. When I’m on a treadmill, I can at least watch TV to occupy my mind. I know I need to get out there and pound the pavement eventually, but I think I’ll wait until I’ve built up my stamina first.
\n 
\nSo far, I have not noticed much improvement in my endurance, or loss of weight. The one noticeable effect I’ve seen is that my legs, especially my thighs, have become more toned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
