That's really depressing!  Usually they turn my races into duathlons when there is too much rain.  Not sure which I'd rather have - rescheduled or not a tri.

My goals are coming along well.  I will have another 2500 yards of swimming in this week and should make my run goal.  I do have to say that without this, I may have blown off some of my swimming so this helped me stay on track.

Swim	3500	6000	58.33%
Bike	278.79	250	111.52%
Run	31.54	40	78.85%

m55morris - 2009-05-27 11:32 AM I am needing a serious kick in the butt.  I should be starting to taper back for a race and instead I am falling out of training.  Normally this should be a recovery week for me, and the body is saying I need it but, I have had no motivation to train the last few days.  I did go for a 3 mile walk, pushing my daughter on monday that isn't logged, and I was running around coaching yesterday, but no real training.  No real point to this post other to vent my frustration at myself

surfnturf - 2009-06-01 8:22 AM Unfortunately, I came up short but that just means that I need to work harder to stay on track. I definitely fulfilled my personal goal of making more time for my family and everyone seems happier b/c of it so if that means I miss some other goals...it is worth it for me. Bike............150.........118.45....... 78.97% Run.............50.......... 33.11........ 66.22% Swim...........15000..... 9100........ 60.67% Strength...... 4........... 150.......... 62.50% Personal more 1on1 with family.... 100%

Jen thanks for the butt kicking.  I am back on my training, just going a bit lower volume this week, changes my training plan a little but it should work.  Good news is that I shaved 5 minutes off of one of my normal training rides.  dropped from 54 minutes to 49 minutes on that training loop.  Another good thing is that I have surpassed my distance goals for the the month in all three disciplines. 1 1/2 weeks until my first tri.  Getting excited.

KrisSeer - 2009-06-01 3:54 PM Hi All-

So I dropped off the radar for quite a while, sorry guys. I'm jumping back in today. I've just been catching up on the recent posts; you all did an

***AWESOME JOB***

in May. Congrats to everybody on all the hard work you put in. Sounds like you had some interesting races, too.

For myself, I obviously met no goals whatsoever, but June is another month. I have a lot of trouble making fitness a priority; I don't usually think about working out, and then decide not to do it. Instead, I forget completely, and realize three weeks later that I haven't been to the gym or on the trails in ages. I've signed up a membership here, so at the very least the occasional newsletters will be a reminder.

Here's to beginning again . . . again!

I'm glad you're back.  :)

Do you have any goals for June?  Maybe you could try x workouts per week as a place to start.  Once you're in the habit again, worry about distance.
