Published on July 31, 2012, by in Fitness, Health, Life.

As you may have gathered from my previous posts, Heather’s First Ocean Swim and My First Aquabike that, (besides being unable to commit to first or third person in my titles), I’m leading up to an even bigger event- my first triathlon.

Since we lost power a few weeks ago I’ve been pretty awful about exercising. I’ve blamed the heat and humidity, and then I’ve been using the fever my son has run since Wednesday as my most recent excuse, so I’m holding myself accountable with this post. I need to get back in gear so I’m
