Triathlete? No, but it works

I had done a few triathlons back in the late 80's early 90's. Too expensive of a sport for me. I was always a terrible swimmer and a decent cyclist. These sports are coming back around to be of use to my body. With my crappy knees, running 3 times a week is about all I can do. I am grateful for that. I have started cycling in the past 2 years and have added swimming into the mix a couple of times a week. I feel fitter than I have in years. Maybe it is all the yoga, maybe it is all the sports but, something is helping me get fitter. I have developed a nice routine. Bike one day, swim the next, run the following day, do yogga every day and some sort of strength work 3 times a week and voila! It is nice finding I can do all this and still have a life. I pay closer attention to my body than ever before. Those aches and pains mean something. All for now, a workout is calling my name.
