Progress Report Kevin

Still working out! It has been a while since I have posted on the blog. I am still working out almost every day. I have been riding my bike on a very high resistance to build some muscle in my legs. I will work on longer distances as I get closer to the big date. Basketball season is over so I can't count that as a workout for the day but I am playing mixed doubles with Roxanne. Not really a workout but I guess it is better than nothing.

Finally bought my bike

Here is what my bike looks like. I finally pulled the trigger on a bike. I wanted to spend less than $1000 on a carbon fiber bike. This bike is not carbon fiber but it has suspension and is the most aerodynamic bike ever made. I bought it from a guy in phoenix. I have also purchased a bike trainer so I can start riding indoors. Softride bikes are made in the USA and are great triathlon bikes. I am so excited to start riding!

Ran 5k today is 28 minutes. I have been playing basketball and I don't even get tired like I used to. I swam a couple of times last week and I am having a hard time swimming more than about 6 laps before I need to rest. Hoping to do more swimming. Wife bought me some new goggles and a hair cap. I hate that I smell of chlourine even after showering after swimming.

Fun 4 day weekend at the Morley's and Riley's. Had a good workout with Jer doing 3 miles in 27 minutes. Also ran when I got home from the trip and ran 3 miles in under 30 minutes. I was a little slower because I drank about 2 sixpacks of DR. Pepper over the 4 day weekend. I did not workout today. I am still looking for a Carbon fiber tri bike for less than 1k and I am determined to find one on Ebay that fits me.

I am now running 5k in under 28 minutes. I am going to look at past results for my age group to set a new goal for the 5k. I started swimming and I have been to the pool a couple of times. I don't think I will have a problem with the swim but I will not be vary fast. I was swimming with an experienced triathlete last saturday and he said I have very poor form because when I breathe I pull my head out of the water too far and it slows me down. He gave me some pointers on the swim that I will try to implement. I am looking for a bike on fleabay and craigs but I have not pulled the trigger because I am looking for my size in a carbon frame that is under 1k. No luck but I am determined to find it.

Giving my legs a rest today because yesterday I overdid it a little yesterday. Ran 4 miles and the knees are taking a little pounding. Starting to look at bikes. I want to buy a bike online and have my local bike store put it together and buy a indoor wheel trainer to put the bike on so I can get comfortable on a bike.

I you haven't signed up for the Triathlon do it NOW! I ran and walked 4 miles today. I tried to run for 3 miles straight but couldn't do it. I am still trying to cut out Dr. Pepper from my diet but I am not having any luck. I went out on a date with my cute wife last night and I can't have a meal without it. I am drinking alot more liquid and I had a massage yesterday. My back and shoulders have been sore from all the running.

Well to show how dedicated I am I got up early new years day and worked out hard! Didn't go to bed until 1:30 but woke up nice and early to run 2.6 miles nonstop between 6 and 7 mph. My wife started working out today also so I have someone to look over at as I am running. She does that yoga weird stuff but she is going to start running also.

Did not workout for the past two days... Way too busy with Kylers allstar tournament in Idaho Falls the past two days and we had a funeral today of a friend in the ward. I will hit it hard tomorrow!

Progress report Kevin

I did it! I reached my goal of running non-stop 3 miles in under 30 minutes before the new year. I did it 5 days early so I will take the next 5 days to come up with my next goal. I will still be running every day and thinking hard as to what I can accomplish by the end of January. Any suggestions?

Love my new playlist except there were a few swear words. If you are planning on making a sweet playlist like mine please exclude eminem lose yourself and two of the greenday songs have swear words so omit those. I ran most of 3.6 miles yesterday but could only do 1.7 miles today because my knees were hurting. I am going to skip working out on Christmas day. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Cromars Progress

My parents sold my diamond back, so i will have to use my sons Thomas the Train Bike. I will try and take off the training wheels, the bike should work for the triathalon, I just need to add a water bottle clip.

I went up and down our stairs 4 times yesterday, once with me carrying Myles. I am gonna try 5 times tomorrow.

Has been too cold and snowy here to even consider swimming or running, so i have busted out my old atari and have been playing Track and Feild. At least I can think about it..............

Cromar Rexburg Triathalon

I have no idea where Rexburg is and I have no Idea what a Triatholon is. I think I need to buy a bike, I am thinking if my parents come to visit they can bring my diamond back. I had that thing since 6th grade, only thing is its missing a seat and its only one speed.

I will have to find out how much running and other stuff is envolved before I start training.

Cromar Rexburg Triathalon

I entered a triatholon in Rexburg in Aug. 09. My brother in law kevin suggested that I enter. So far we have 4 entrants, most of them family. The 2 losers will have to walk down mainstreet in a pink speedo. The winner gets fabulous prizes and a boat load of cash. I am composing this post in conjunction with Kevin to track my progress so that I can get in shape. Here goes.

Ran 2 miles at 6mph today. I hit a wall at about 2 miles or at 25 minutes. My goal is 3 miles in 30 minutes by the new year. I am shoveling alot of snow on top of working out. We have a foot of snow in Rexburg.

Progress report Kevin

Was a little tired today but I think it was from a lack of sleep and not eating right. Ran a mile in a half at 6mph then ran another mile at 5mph. My legs are already getting a little bigger and my back and shoulders are sore when I run.

Progress report Kevin

Watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii today. Those guys are crazy. All day long. At least it motivated me to workout extra hard. Ran 2 miles in 20 minutes and then walked uphill for another 15 minutes. It is snowing hard in Rexburg so not much chance of me getting to run outside.

Creative bets

I will let everyone know who will be participating so if there are any other creative bets similar to the Pink Speedo bet I will get them up. I will also invite you to blog on the Pink Speedo blog once you have committed to the RUSH Triathlon.
