5k - First goal achieved!

Third workout. This fairytale number brought first achievement. From the very beginning (it was week ago, but sounds co cool) my first goal was to run 5k - and I did it! (feeling of victory without competitions :))

Here are few observations I did during this achievement:

Small achievement, small step forward

Uuuuuh, it is so cool to start your day from personal achievement. Let me explain. Almost everything like previous time: family is sleeping, heart is beating, etc. etc. The only difference - I don't guess any more, I know. (I have to work on my explanations, right :))

So, if you've read my previous article, you know about my Ironman dream, and about first workout as well. Next workout - next article!

Let me start from the pleasant results. Although I felt worse running today, I kept the same level.

First step towards Ironman!

Family is still sleeping and hart is beating. Body is full of emotions and muscles are ready to repeat movements... This is what I'm feeling after my first workout, which is official opening of Ironman preparation season.

Several weeks ago I read Dmitri Volosins article and was literally infected by Ironman idea. There are a lot of things you can take example of Dmitri, but this one is about setting up a goal, and achieving it.

OK, let's switch from theory to practice. In order to be able to track progress and later to remember what was in the beginning, probably I should mention current state: I'm 26, height 185 and weight 88 (I believe you are good if you can do at least 10 pull-ups). Today I did six laps around the lake (previous time I did only 3) and, probably it is around 1.5 km. I can swim around 200 meters without any risk for my health, and I have no idea how long I can do cycling, because I simply don't have it.

My current form is more or less clear, so it's time to give impossible promises set up goals. Obviously I don't have possibility to hire coaches in all three disciplines, that's why I'll try to achieve this goal on my own, having Internet and friends as source of information.
