Training Week 4: Sharon BuMann

My run training has developed some delightful surprises: A gift from my running partner, he lovingly brings me my shoes (lots of them) until I stop what I am doing and go for a "Run/Walk" with him. He likes the run part the best.

Swimming still presents a challenge. I purchased a wetsuit on the advice it will keep me afloat. I sent this photo to my grandsons (believing some day they will get a kick out of seeing "Granny " in a wet suit...) PS: I tried it out in the lake, (in the dark.) and it works!!!! I CAN FLOAT. I was like swimming inside my inflatable raft I had as a youngster. Too cool.

Biking is still fun and you do have to heed the advice of your coaches... "where you look is where you will end up'"! I have a huge knot on my knee as proof that: once again THEY are correct !!! I am meeting lots of fun women and again, ever so thankful for this Tri -training opportunity. I am excited about doing more. It is becoming an addiction.
