4/4/08

After a lovely date night with Jim last night, and a day off, I got a run in today and a SWIM. That's right, I actually got back in the pool and felt really good about how it went. I know I am going really slow, but I could tell my body was more relaxing, my legs were going slower, my breathing was controlled, and I started getting into a breathing patter. Maybe this is starting to work out after all... Just gotta actually swim more often.

April 2

No swimming... and none tomorrow.

I did take my Thursday spin class and it went well! I felt energized during and afterward, the back to back classes were manageable.

Tuesday April 1

Well, yesterday I took the day off... After a morning full of disappointment and avoidance, I did not go swimming.

Today I had a great workout. I took Ben's cycle class at the midtown Y, which I usually cannot attend because of small group. It was a great more moderate workout and I feel like I can go in tomorrow and rock my Wed. class. I also ran 20 minutes afterward and felt great, although I could feel my feet cramp a bit at the end. I think that's just me getting used to running again... My priority tomorrow needs to be swimming, so I will get it done. I am throwing around the idea of swimming early in the morning but am not sure I will pull that one off.

First week of April (March 30- April 5)

I had a good workout today... 30 minutes stair master and 20 minutes slow run. Then I lifted weights. Looking at these training books makes me realize how much there is to know about triathlon training. It can be a little overwhelming. Here is the tentative plan for this week:
  • Monday: Do I dare go back to that horribly boring spin class?? I'll decide in the morning. Regardless, I need a good hour swim practice. Abdominals.
  • Tuesday: 30 minutes stair master and 20 minutes slow run.
  • Wednesday: Evening spin class, 20 minutes slow run before class. Abdominals.
  • Thursday: Body pump and swimming?
  • Friday: Off?
  • Saturday: Spin class
Well... this is it tentatively. I may change things around a little bit.
