I am a pretty out of shape person. I may not look it; you may not think it, but I am. People don’t believe me when I tell them that I am not a runner, and that in fact, I can’t run a mile without stopping. Sure, running’s not my forte, but at the same time, my endurance is still worth shit. I also do not eat healthily. Just this morning, I ate half of an 11-oz bag of sour cream & onion potato chips for breakfast.

Thus, I’ve decided to train for a triathlon to get into shape, one of the short sprint ones, nothing crazy like the Ironman. I have talked about this for a long time, at least a few months, but I haven’t done anything about it. The most effort I put toward the training was running for five minutes along the Charles River about a month ago. My goal was to run for ten minutes, but I had to stop after five because I got too tired.

So the plan is as follows for this coming week:
Sunday: 6pm - run
Monday: 6pm - run
Tuesdsay: 7pm - weekly volleyball
Wednesday: 7:30am - swim, 6pm - run
Thursday: 6pm - run
Friday: 7:30am - swim, 6pm - run
Saturday: 10am - bike
