2nd Week Training Schedule

Starting training has really motivated more for The Danskin! I am getting more excited about it. My trainer is The Best! Her name is Meredith. This is what she wrote in her last email to her group after we had our Saturday run:

What a terrific running workout we had this morning! You all ran very well and your times were inspirational! It's going to be hard to improve on them -- but I believe everyone can shave some seconds off their one mile TT (time trial) in the next couple weeks. Dedication to your goal is Vital. Let's face it, ours is a culture where poverty is rampant. The poverty of time. And at the end of the day most people are too tired to drag themselves to a gym to get themselves on a bike or treadmill because we are all on the treadmill of life. But there is one solution! Change the way you think about fitness & health in your life. Stop making excuses and improve your life during those 23 hours a day you are not training for the triathlon or when you do not see me. Be active during your own 23 hours. When you are active,flexible, and in shape you are more in tune with your body and the world around you. - You are at Your Best! Live like you mean it. It is my job to assist, inspire, coach, train, motivate, and set an example. I want to be your motivator, your trainer, your teacher, your pusher to help you accomplish things you may have never thought possible. Together we are the instigators of good things,tension release,social time, and mental and physical benefit. Together we can each cross the finish line of the triathlon surrounded by all kinds of women who are motivated and trying to reach a goal just like you. That is incredibly powerful.
