One of the reasons to train for a triathlon is so I can keep fit and run with my kids and cousins. Today was a payoff after 48 days of work. In the morning, I met at 7am with my cousin
Graham Orme who had already ran 8 miles before I met up with him while prepare for a sub 3 hour marathon. He is the one that ran the Tough Mudder race that I have no interest in. Look up the link at http://toughmudder.com/ and see what it is. Here is a preview -> Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by
British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina,
mental grit, and camaraderie
My daughter Maria was also going for a run with us. I surprised myself and them with a 7:30 first mile time. I couldn't keep it up for the 4 miles like they could, but it was nice to at least be in their league.
Graham took the picture of Maria and I coming down a San Diego trail and then going back up the same one later. I am wearing my favorite workout shirt - a CDA Triathlon shirt that was too big for one of my kids in 2010. I want to earn my own this year.
