Week 4 of Triathlon Training Begins

Can't believe I'm starting week 4 of training already and I still have not signed up for the actual race, acquired a bike or figured out what gear I actually need.  Last week I missed the long run (5 miles), I'm getting pretty annoyed that I keep missing one day of training.  I think I am going to have to merge something with the short run to make everything fit.  I happened to meet a swim instructor at a party this weekend and she suggested doing half the distance of each event in one day.  Interesting.  She also has me a little more nervous about swimming in the ocean.  She was talking about "spotting" and swimming with the currents.  YIKES! I have no idea what to think and I have no desire to swim in the ocean by myself (yes, I have a valid fear of sharks!).

I think I ate a little better this week although still not as mindful as I'd like to be.  Should be easy to eat well today since we have no food in the house and I don't plan on grocery shopping until tomorrow.  I really hope I'm down on the scale tomorrow, being 4 lbs down would be great but I really don't think its that much at all.   Hoping to be down one pound tomorrow.
