I'm Tri'ing

Week of 12/17/2012 - 12/23/2012 Swimming - 4 Biking - 2 Running - 3 Strength training - 3 Weight loss for week - 2 lbs Total weight loss - 27.5 lbs The week before the holidays was a great workout week.  Sadly this week has not started off the same, which be reflected in all my workout and weight loss numbers next week when I post.  Oh well, it happens, I'll get back on track now that Christmas is over. Still making great progress in the pool, actually did 1000 yd session in the pool to end the week.  This is the longest freestyle I have ever done.  Biking has turned into my weakness but that is largely because I just haven't gotten any time on the bike so that will be an improvement area for 2013. Still haven't had a lot of time to focus on getting my training schedule updated but hopefully will get that done over the next week. Happy Holidays to all!

Week of 12/3/2012 - 12/9/2012 Swimming - 4 Biking - 3 Running - 3 Strength Training - 1 Weight loss for week - 2 lbs Total weight loss - 25.5 lbs Week of 12/10/2012 - 12/16/2012 Swimming - 2 Biking - 3 Running - 3 Strength Training - 2 Weight loss for week - 0 Total weight loss - 25.5 lbs Yes time is of the essence, as my workouts get longer I'm finding it harder to get everything done that I need to do.  So I'm still working on updating my training schedule to try to get the most out of each workout.  This means reducing the variety of things I do daily which will allow for additional time for individual activities.  You don't realize that when you are in the pool for at least 1/2 hour that is cardio. I have hooked up my road bike to my trainer to get some seat time.  Riding a stationary bike vs your road bike is night and day.  Since your position is different on a road bike than stationary bike it puts a bit more pressure on my back so I'...

Week of 11/19/2012 - 11/25/2012 Swimming - 4 Biking - 2 Running - 4 Strength Training / Core - 2 Weight loss for Week - 1 lb Total Weight loss - 22 lbs Week of 11/26/2012 - 12/2/2012 Swimming - 5 Biking - 4 Running - 3 Strength Training / Core - 4 Weight loss for Week - 1.5 lbs Total Weight loss - 23.5 lbs Sorry, again a bit behind on updating but time is just flying by!  Last week I completed the ChiRunning 8 Week to 5K!  My running is still very slow but I ran the entire way with no walking.  Next on the list is the 10 Week to 10K which should be completed around the time of a local 10K race.   The swimming is coming along amazing, can you believe I'm saying that?!?  The one thing I use to hate, the one thing that was making me consider not doing any more triathlons.  My fear of the swim always made me so stressed before a race and I would just focus on getting through the swim.  But I've been swimming 500-600 yds per session...
