June 18, 2008 - Ignore the weather - You never know what it will be like on race day.

Yo run gang,

To be a consistent runner I've learned to totally ignore the weather, besides you don't have a choice when you line up on race day so you might as well know how to dress for all conditions. Never let the weather keep you from a scheduled run, plenty of other things will come up to do that anyway! Did I mention the leaves will be changing in about 3 months?

When I started doing triathlons I used to hate swimming. The water was never the right temperature and unlike running, you could not dress for it, yikes! I also never liked swimming in a pool; it reminded me of running on a treadmill, swimming back and forth in a box of water looking at a stripe, all that changed when I got a swimming wetsuit. I might get in a pool once in a while during the winter but from April to October open water swimming with a wet suite has taken away the dread of the swim workout.

Come on out to Island Lake tomorrow for a Zoot wetsuit demo and a triathlon workout. Call Jane at 248-347-4949 to RSVP and find out more. Some demo suits will be on sale cheap and we will be offering discounts on wetsuit orders.

Beginners Triathlon Clinic 6:30 PM tonight at Novi, call 248-347-4949 and say, I'm coming!

Get outside!
