I have to get faster. I HAVE to. I NEED to be faster. So, last night I started working on it. I ran 2 miles in 18:35. That is pretty darn fast for me! I would like to be able to run a sub-30 5K by the end of the summer, I think it's doable. Especially if I pick one with a flat course. I never did any speed work last year (I know, bad Ironman training), so I'm kind of looking forward to have something new and different to work on this summer. I've accepted the fact that I have now trained for and raced the longest distance I will ever cover, so speed is going to need to replace distance in my training.
Oh, and someone found my blog this week by googling "triathlons and dislike of swimming". Is it that obvious?!!?

Swim 2.4 miles. Bike 112 miles. Run 26.2 miles. Brag for the rest of your life.
Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the aching in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and a little voice inside you that yells "can't". But you dont listen, you just push harder and then you hear a voice whisper "can" and you realize the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

And when all were named upon the Earth,
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said,
"Dear Lord, There's not one left for me!"
The Father smiled and softly said:
"I've left you till the end.
I've turned my own name back to front,
And called you DOG, my friend."

pretty funny about the swim stuff! As for speed - good for you! I kinda think about working on that too...if I ever quit with the endurance stuff. We'll see.
Are you doing KC 1/2 Marathon again?
Hey there-
Are you still planning on doing Hospital Hill? I'm doing the 10K portion. Maybe a few of us KC runnergirls could meet up before.
