3 sports. 2 times. One week.

How did we get here?

4 years ago, I got a new fitness trainer. I thought I was adopting a dog, but now I know what I really got. One day about a year after I got him, he scented a horse and ran off ahead of me on some trails to investigate. I had to run for about a mile to catch up to him and the horse and make sure everything was copacetic. That run was way more difficult than it should have been.

The dog and I went to the trails many more times. He set the pace and hikes turned into walk/runs and then runs. 3 miles turned into 5, then 7, then 9, etc. Trail running 3 times a week turned into training for the San Francisco marathon. After doing that event in 2007 and 2008 it was time to mix something else in besides running.

The current goal is to do the Laguna Phuket olympic triathlon in 2009.

Old workout plan: Run Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
New workout plan: Long bike ride Sunday, Run Tuesday, Swim Wednesday, Run Thursday, Swim and bike ride Saturday
