O.K., well maybe it was a brickette: 10 laps in the pool and a 1.5 mile bike ride. Everyone has to start somewhere. (For those fans not in with the triathlon crowd, a "brick" is a section of workout--either swimming biking, or biking running one right after the other, like a triathlon) This is the first brick in building the foundation for my second mini-triathlon. I am hoping it will also be the first brick in the foundation of the new place I find myself in my ministry. Ah, the life of an interim. . .
Last year I did the mini-tri the weekend after burying my grandmother and I was out of shape. I was also exactly one year from my total hip replacement, and I was grateful to finish it. (No I didn't run the last part, I walked, in case my orthopod is reading this). This year, I am in much better shape --at least physically, so I am looking forward to a summer of training.
As I find myself in a transition time, this physical training will be good for my spirit as well.
