Last week was about getting back into the swing of things after my head cold - but swimming and running were challenges as I had to ensure I had a store of tissues with me as I was just so full of thick stuff ... but did feel better afterwards by clearing out the sinuses!
Friday and Saturday were off days, due to a hospital visit on Friday. I won't bore you with the details, but I think all is now ok and we are back on track with training. Being in hospital twice in the last 6 months is more than enough !!
Anyway - the Spring weather has arrived and it is such a wonderful feeling running out there in the warm sunshine and only wearing summer running gear. Sunshine certainly makes it more inviting to head out the door and want to train. Goodbye Winter (I hope).

This is a blog of my journey to train and get to the start line of NZ Ironman 2008. So join me in my ups and downs.

About Me
- Raewyn
- My late husband inspired me to start running, then cycling. I supported him through 2 successful NZ Ironman races in 2001 and 2003. Unfortunately he suffered heart problems while training for the Coast to Coast, and 10 days before this event in 2006 he suffered his second and last heart attack. I miss him dearly, but know that he is with me every minute of the day telling me to get out training, go faster, and not to complain about being tired, or it's too cold to go out running etc! He didn't accept excuses for not training. I learned a lot about training for NZ Ironman by supporting him, so now have to apply this to myself. Oh boy ... My background is some road cycling and running - but swimming is a new challenge so that will be interesting (terrifying more describes it). I have done up to 160km rides before, and run half marathons, so need to try and increase the distances a little - all with the help of my coach Tony O'Hagan who is well known in the Tri world. I have taken time out from the corporate world of shipping for a while, so do not have the excuse of not having "time" to train.

Hey Raewyn
Glad to hear you are on the mend. Not nice for you to have to end up in hospital, nothing too serious hopefully. Take it easy and enjoy that sunshine! It sure makes training way more enjoyable I agree!!
