before the beginning

It's getting closer and closer to the day when I have to start my triathlon training in earnest. To mark that I've pretty much taken the last month off ... everything.

There's not been any running, cycling or swimming. It's pretty much been a month of eating, drinking and getting bigger. I wrapped the whole month up in the fact that I had eye surgery and therefore had a legitimate reason for no swimming and the first 10 days or so there couldn't be any vigorous exercise etc etc.

April 1st is the date I've set myself as day 1 of training so this morning when I woke up and saw the blue skies and could feel the warmth I decided I'd bring it forward a wee bit. If only to get myself back into what it feels like putting runners back on.

I managed a circuit in 15 minutes and decided to walk for another 10. It's hardly going to set the world alight but given I've not done anything I figure I need to be careful about overdoing things. If I can manage that same route for the remainder of this week that at least puts me in a better position for next week.

Almost there.
