I started the month still sick, but have been feeling pretty normal now.  It has been hard to get up at 5:15 each morning to try and get a workout in.  Especially since it finally got cold again! I’m always glad I worked out, but it is a motivation thing.  I’m sure it will get easier!

Here are my goals for 2012 and my progress towards them:

Goal #1: Finish Buffalo Triathlon on June 3.  1/4 mile swim, 12 mile bike, and 3 mile run. (Under 1:15)

February was a much better month.  Training officially started and I’ve been trying to follow it.  I’ve gotten at least 1 workout per discipline in during my official training weeks!

Goal #2: Improve on my Square Lake time from last year (1:58) 1/2 Mile Swim 16.5 Mile Bike 5 Mile Run

See above.

Goal #3: Use and write about the FIRST Method for my running. 5k for the spring and 10k for the fall.

I’ve only run a few times.  Fortunately, I don’t have to start the FIRST training until March. I’m trying to get some basic fitness so that I  can do a test run to figure out where I should set my FIRST training at.

Goal #4: Complete Project 345 Bible Reading plan – takes you through the New Testament in the year.

Continuing to enjoy this reading plan.  It is currently in the Book of Acts.

Goal #5: Read a variety of books (genre, style, authors).

I started a couple of books in February, but haven’t finished one yet.

Goal #6: Document my thoughts on at least 6 of the books I’ve read.

not yet!

Goal #7: Blog.

• Running  – not a very good job!
• Midtown Phillips – averaging one post a day
• Nadia – averaging one post a week

Goal #8: Project 365

This has been getting better, I just need to remember to post them in a timely fashion!!

Running: 15.3 miles

Swimming: 1.2 miles

Biking: 2.5 hours

LAST YEAR: I ran 34.4 miles, 1/4 mile swim and 75 minutes on the bike.
