Triathlon Training

There are only 46 days, 43 training days, left until the triathlon on April 11th and I am in terrible shape.  I was only able to run for 10 minutes on the treadmill today, at a pace of 10.43 miles/minute.  That is horrible!!  At this pace I'm going to have to drop out of the race, or quit while doing the race, and I've NEVER quit a race.  The only race I've ever signed up for and not started was due to a fever, and the fact that I had a more important race the next week and wanted to save my strength for that race.  I'm going to have to train a lot harder if I want to finish with any type of respectable time.  Silvia gave me a lecture yesterday about not allowing myself to quit, but why would I do that?  Quitting is not part of my vocabulary.  Even though I did try to drop out of the Couples Tri last year when it was 90+ degrees at 9 am, I ended up finishing because I couldn't figure out how to drop out.  Cody did have a good point I did receive chemo less than 24 hours ago, and that might have something to do with my crappy performance.  Never the less I am determined to do finish.  I just need to work on strengthening exercises at the start of the week and move onto endurance training as the week progresses and the chemo makes its way out of my system.

We got about an inch today, the first snow we have had all year. 

Our front yard was cool enough for the snow to stick, it should be gone this evening before the temp drops below freezing.
