it's getting easier...

Well, I was able to get my cycling under 20 minutes (3.92 miles in 19:16).  I was able to stay in high gear all of the way.  The 1.01 mile in 7:47 run was somewhat funny because I bolted out of the gate but after the first quarter mile I was wondering why I had done that.  Lord willing on Thursday I'm going to run first then bike; this is going to be interesting.

let's explore

Well it's better late than never, I biked 5.35 miles in 30:43 through a new neighborhood; thank you Lord and good night!

let the games begin...

This past Saturday the Lord allowed me to see some of the Xterra games on tv.  At first I was really excited because I thought that it was a biathlon but to my chagrin there's swimming involved (triathlon).  I was dismayed for about two seconds then I thought that I should start training for a biathlon; I can always learn to swim.  This is the first time that I rode my bike and immediately ran afterwards, my legs felt like jello but it was all good.  Today I biked 3.75 miles in 21:00 exactly an improvement of 1:37, praise the Lord and cycled 1.05 miles in 7:44 :) God is good all the time and all the time God is good :)

back at it...

Greetings, well I'm beginning a new phase of runblackmanrun, I will add biking to the mix.  The Lord led me to a a site called trifind.com and to my amazement there are tons of bi & triathlons going on all over the place.  I thought it would be interesting to train for a biathlon.  A triathlon would be even better but one small caveat, I must learn how to swim better than I can now.  So for today I rode my regular route of 3.75 miles in a time 22:36.  So far my legs feel great; bike riding is so much easier than running but can't replace my first love; thank you Lord :)
