Strength Training - 1
Weight loss for week - 0
Total weight loss - 27.5
As reported in the last post the past couple of weeks haven't been great workout weeks and no weight loss. But it happens right, no worries. I'll get it back on track this week. My back is feeling MUCH better so I'm going to do some strength training tomorrow and clearly I need to get back to biking. My road bike is set up on the trainer between the living room and kitchen I just need to spend some time on it. I've been very focused on swimming and running but need to make sure that I'm giving proper attention to the bike. Plus with my back being sore I didn't want to make even more sore by getting on the bike.
Along with this post you will see I have updated my race schedule. Races fill up quick around here so I built in a back up race in case one of the races is full. I've also been working on my 2013 training schedule and if I actually stick to the schedule I should have my swim built up to 2 miles and my running should be up to a marathon.
By mid year I want to have a good grasp on what distance I'm going to be ready to race next year. I haven't written anything recently but a long time ago I did write about my desire to do an Ironman (http://pinkygiraffe.blogspot.com/2010/05/why.html). I still have that goal in mind. It's a big commitment, BIG, but I've always been driven and inspired by people that participate in the Ironman races. It's not just elite athletes, it's every day people with a drive to accomplish something beyond their wildest dreams. If training goes as planned I could be ready to do a 1/2 Ironman next year and hopefully be able to do a full Ironman in 2014. Most Iroman races sell out a year in advance so if I set out on this path I would need to make that decision by next year. The good news is that there are a few Ironman distance races around here that I could do.
I also made a statement a few years ago that I was going to do an Ironman before I was 50, that's a few years ago but fast approaching!
