I want to - not have to

I finally felt like I had a good workout, for the first time in days. I hit the gym for swimming and lifting. I am going to try this: http://ruthkazez.com/SwimWorkouts/ZeroTo1mile.html to build up my swim endurance. I also received the Total Immersion DVD today. This swim was as enjoyable as any since there was no pressure trying to make sure I could cover 750 meters without stopping. There's a world of difference between the pool and OWS but I have to feel more confident swimming if I'm going to complete a tri. Then I lifted, something I have not done for a few months. I've atrophied a little.

Next up, maybe a duathlon in Sedalia in September. It's only $20. Then the half in October.

So my focus has to be on running, at least the long runs. I am hoping to build more endurance on the bike and even the dumb swimming so I don't fade in mile 10 as I have in my last half-marathons. I would really like to get in under 2 hours. But if my knee - or other joints - start bothering me, I may decide to prod Annie along in another run.
