1) Tri training has started. I’m feeling good about tri training so far, yes I know it’s only week 1 day 4. I DO need to figure about a better morning routine. Meaning, I actually need to get up! Anyone want to be texting buddies at o’dark thirty? I’m loosely following a plan I found last year but have modified some of the workouts to fit the days I need them to fit. So far, so good.
2) Dailyplate. I am still dailyplating and have started to concentrate less on counting calories and focus my attention more on protein, fat, fiber and sodium. So far, I am down a couple pounds but still much heavier than I’ve been in a long time. Slowly this is changing. I’ve been good about eating fruit for “dessert” which is great b/c I’m finding the more I steer clear of the sweets the less I miss them. Right now I am LOVING kiwis! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM-YUM! I can’t wait for the return of the Rainier Cherries. I have always liked cherries but there is NOTHING like a rainier cherry.
3) My foot. Well, I have decided to revamp the “building” plan. There is plenty of the summer left to build up to higher mileage. Right now, I’m focused on running shorter (3-7 miles) and stopping whenever my foot hurts. On Tuesday, I met the girls for Track Tuesday. I walk/ran 3 miles at about a 12:05 pace and then walked another 1.8 miles. For some reason walking really doesn’t hurt. Now that I’m consistently biking and swimming, I figure the running can be scaled back a bit. I'm going to work on listening to my foot and when it hurts I'm going to stop and walk.

Good luck with the tri-training!
I am sorry about your foot. I, too, have scaled back my running. I am focusing on my biking and swimming and that makes me feel like I am accomplishing something rather than always being injured.
Keep up the great work on the diet changes. I am sure the pounds will come off before you know it!
I'm sorry about your foot still hurting! It sounds logical to focus on the bike and swim and listen to your footsie!
Good luck and kudos on your weight loss! I try to fill the fruit bowl with tons of options to help me steer clear from the junky sweets!
Aww, i hope the foot improves.
I remember reading somewhere that cherries (in like a super high dosage) have very good healing and anti-inflammatory stuff to them - as if you needed a reason for more and more cherries!
I hope your foot gets better soon. Glad you can do some biking/swimming to keep you sane ;) I'm going to have to start getting up pre-work to run again soon. I've been keeping the distances I run on work days down so I don't have to, but I think two more weeks and I'm going to have to start doing it in the morning. I am not a happy morning runner.
I've just barely started tri training also, only i'm NOT feeling very good about it (YET). Best wishes with that!!!
Hey! I just discovered your site and it's so candid, I love
it. If you love running as much as I do, you know sometimes how hard it is to stay on track, especially after injuries.....my personal trainer and running buddy showed me this amazing new site and tool and it enables everyone to accomplish goals. I started using www.fitango.com
before the last marathon I was in and it really improved my running....besides, it gives really good tips and skills on other things too.
just sharing some news from one runner to another :)
