My brother helped me set up this blog. He thought it would be cool if I tracked my triathlon training and I totally agree but I've been slacking big time. I promise to start talking more about my actual training. I haven't worked out since Saturday...but Saturday was a good workout. I took a spin class, swam a mile and lifted for about 45 minutes. Today I had big workout plans but didn't get much accomplished.
My grandma has Alzheimer's disease and this awful disease is running its course on her and our family. When I'm working out I have a lot of time to be alone with my thoughts and more often then not my thoughts circle around her. The disease has taken quite a toll on her over the past week and I feel angry and sad about losing the grandma that I love so much. This is what I was thinking about this morning when I was trying to workout. And this is why I didn't get much done...it's really difficult to run through tears because it makes breathing difficult.
The point is, I have decided to dedicate all my races to my grandma. She was always taking my brother, sister, and I to the track to run around or to the swimming pool or letting us ride her bike. She was always encouraging us to be active and try new things. I know she would be proud of me and I want to do something that lets her know that I'm proud of her too!
