Get a move on it!

Okay it has been a little while since I posted anything, but honestly it was almost a whole week that went by  and I really didn't work out.  However, perhaps that was what the doctor ordered because when I ran on Tuesday for my long run I was able to run almost the entire thing without much walking.  I was feeling pretty good at the end of it. My body was not actually begging me to stop which was a first.  Tonight I got to go on a bike ride with a couple of the girls that are going to be in the triathlon with me that I also work with.  I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep up, but I did.  I was super excited that I seem to be on track with the others although the could have just been kind and going my speed. I wasn't even winded after the almost 12 mile ride in a few minutes over an hour.
All this being said it is a good thing I am feeling positive.  I got an email the other day from the triathlon people saying that if we haven't been training enough then we should quit and not participate because this is a serious event.  That was scary along with all the requirements of getting our bike checked etc.  I am nervous because my bike isn't the fanciest thing in the world.  However, it gets the job done.  I am afraid they will take one look at my bike and laugh at it. THe only thing I worry about is my chain coming off, which sometimes it does when it is switching gears.  That makes me nervous.  I am not sure if I will be able to fix it or not.  All I know is that after I received that letter I knew that I needed to get move on it and get back to action. And although completely scared, I know that I can finish the race.   Okay maybe I don't know, but I am still really hoping.
