So, somewhere in my fitness quest, during my gentle reintroduction to running (which began on Sunday, and in terms of time and distance, was very short), a random thought entered my head. A voice in my head said ‘Why don’t you do have a bash at a triathlon?’ It was a very stupid voice, with no common sense, and it sounded like it came from person with a non-sensical, inexplicable need to do projects and new things. Yep, me.
And whilst the initial thought of it made me splutter and laugh and cough, I haven’t been able to shake it. It has lingered. And lingered. I have found myself researching it when I should have been asleep. I have sent off for a book from Amazon (you know me, there’s a book from Amazon about EVERYTHING – no book from Amazon, then no new project!)
So that’s it. It’s stuck. And it won’t go away.
And I’m quite excited.
Who knows what will happen? As soon as the book arrives, and I have read it, I will let you know, but as it stands, I’m going to do it! It would be the most amazing challenge, but you know me and challenges.
I feel a new list and chance to write a pretty training regime and diet plan coming on as we speak…

Well, you know that you’re usually pushing at an open door when it comes to selling me your ideas. But really? A triathalon? Are you sure?!!!! xxx

Is this a step too far Lyns? I’m not sure – when you put your mind to something you generally achieve it………….apart from the new girl’s Friday nights out. Have you got a date pencilled in yet…..? Ha ha.

Well – I for one think this is a great idea and I’m right there with you. I’ll buy the book too…
No. Wait. That sounds like something I may have said before… there is NO chance of me joining you in a triathlon. I went to the gym the other day, looked at a treadmill and that was enough for me. I suppose I should have gone for a proper run but it was 9pm and getting dark.
But – you go for it and I’ll cheer you on from the comfort of my own blog.
