Week of 9/10/2012 - 9/16/2012
Running - 3 sessions
Biking - 2 sessions
Strength Training - 2 sessions
Not a bad week for me. I worked out 5 of 7 days and I did the workouts that I had scheduled. You know the running isn't running it's jogging :>) The strength training right now is just upper body and some core work, nothing lower body at this stage and very light weights. Don't want to do anything to aggravate my back.
This week I'll be starting the ChiRunning 8 week to 5K training plan. This week should not be too bad since my jogging has been similar to what is planned. I've been trying to find a 5K race to do at the end of my 8 week plan but haven't found anything yet. I'll keep looking but if I don't find anything maybe I'll just put something together on my own or try for something later in the month. I'm sure there will be runs around Thanksgiving as there are usually Turkey trots in most cities.
The biking, as was before my back surgery is boring. I've always hated biking inside. I'm going to look for some trails near by and maybe try for some rides outside. That is going to be a great thing about living in Texas, longer outdoor training season. I want to start out on my mountain bike and get some good time on that before even considering moving to my road bike. I just want to get my back stronger since the road bike puts me in a different position and puts a bit more stress on my back.
Right now I do not belong to a pool and do not have a pool near by that I can work on swimming. I could always go to the pool up at the community where we are building our house but that is about a 45 minute drive. I want to wait to join a gym pending on what job I get, don't want to join something in the opposite direction. But at least I can bike and run at home, although my swimming is really what needs the most work.
This week I'm going to start tracking my food intake so I can get back on track with my weight loss. So today was weigh in day and I DID NOT like the number on the scale. But as I have said before the number on the scale does not define me. It's a number that will be shrinking. There is 16 weeks left this year and I would like to be at my goal weight by the end of the year. It's a very doable goal!
So happy Monday, thank you for reading and I hope you too are making progress with your goals!
