I have committed to another sprint Triathlon. Last year Claudia and I did this same one and it was hard, humiliating in some ways but very fun. Then I wound up with a combined groin and lower ab tear that kept me from running or working out much for almost 9 months. But, the same race is coming up in about 7 weeks and I am determined to get into better shape for this one and to continue my triathlon training as part of my "transition" program.
I'm also going to try to get on a softball team this year and play again.
As of April 6th 2008 my status is thus:
50 years old... 261 lbs...
I ran for 10 minutes on the treadmill, at 4 mph and about died. Yikes... Justin (my oldest son) says I need to start out by running 10 minutes a day until I can start stretching that out... So,
Day 1 of training (April 8th), ran for 10 minutes. .66 of a mile. Near death experience. I have posted photos of Day 1, is there no shame?
Day 2, ran 10 minutes. It wasnt easier. In fact it felt harder. I ran 2.5 minutes at 5 mph and 7.5 at 4 mph. the first 5 minutes were painful but it eased up a bit.

I think you should post your post-tri story from last summer on here. It is a great story and will let everyone read again how great of a thing it was last year and build anticipation for this upcoming one. I think it is awesome that you and mom are doing it again this year. Kyle says he is all for it if I find hium a bike to practice on so keep you eyes open for us.
