New Triathletes in the making!
Yesterday after my workout I went to Showalter Park to help with a new Tri Training group of women. This group of lady's are definitely out of shape but they want to complete their first triathlon. Many of them haven't done any type of working out since high school...and they are in their 40-50's! Its a little hard for me to understand but very good for me to be there. I actually really enjoy helping other people reach their fitness goals. Its so much fun to talk to them and find out what makes them tick and how you can push each one of them a little differently in order to complete the same goal. Last night we taught them about their heart rate. We did several test with them to figure out what their heart rates were and then had them run different amounts depending on their levels. Its funny how I'm suppose to be out there encouraging these women but it ends up they are very encouraging to me and spending time with them actually makes me want train harder.

amy, i think this is really cool. my mom was definitely in the group that hadn't worked out till college and when she got sick, i know that the reason it was so hard was that she had no physical strength to rely on. you are doing a great thing with these ladies!
