start # 2

Well last week was a bust as far as work outs went, from work to the gym changing locker security, I just let it all get in the way.  Diet was pretty good and stayed at goal or little below for almost the whole week.  This week will be better, the locker security thing is fixed and handled, work , well it is work so we will see, if anything it will interfere with the evening workouts which is only on Mondays and Wednesdays  right now.
 There is no progress with my plantar faciitis except on Thursday it was worse.  It is frustrating that it is not healed up yet but then again it has only been about 6 wks since it was diagnosed.  I am getting impatient with it but that is life.  Saw a video on you tube about a guy who weighed 430 and started training for triathlons and at the time the video was put together he weighed 240. wow!!!! way to go dude.  Whether or not I ever complete an Iron man race (it is in the back of my mind and quite honestly may stay there!) I want the fitness level that being able to do three different types of sports in one race will give me.  I will be 50 in about 2 1/2 years and want to be one of the fittest 50 year olds around.  Both of my parents died in their 60's, my dad at 64 and my mom at 69, my dad had a bad heart and my mom had Alzheimer's. I would be lying if I said that it did not concern me that I could continue this trend but I try not to think to much about it except for motivational purposes.
    I was looking online yesterday at bicycles and have almost picked out what my first bike will be, but, just for giggles I looked at triathlon specific bikes and was blown away at the cost. 2 to 15 grand.  YIKES!!!!.  that is crazy but I guess if you are a dedicated triathlete and wanting to really get competitive then they are worth the investment as long as you use them.  I'll wait until I am in the position to decide on whether or not to go for Iron man status (completing an Iron man race) or not.  If I do then it might be worth while because then I know that I like triathlons and plan to do them as long as I can.   Well that is all for today. will check in tomorrow with update on current weight and such.
