I worked out on all my scheduled days and only missed one workout - strength training yesterday and that was only because I was a bit sore from the previous strength training.
I had a good week in the pool - no soreness in my right shoulder! Now I need to work up the courage to get back in the lap pool but it's always so COLD! I know I have been swimming more than what I have been estimating because the length of the pool is not a standard 25/50 yd/ meter pool. But the water in there is so much warmer than they keep the lap pool. But I also know that I need to focus on time and distance so I'll try very hard to suck it up and get back in that lap pool at least once this week.
My biking continues to be indoor at spin class - it's definitely been too COLD to get outside and consider biking. I'm a fair weather girl and 20-50 degree biking is NOT my idea of fun or training. This coming week the spin class is offering the option to do 90 min which I'm going to try doing - it means getting up around 345 AM to get to the gym by 5 but I think it will be worth it.
I finished my 10K training and now I'm starting on the 1/2 marathon training so my time and distance will drop down a bit for the next couple weeks. I did the 6 mile run yesterday on the treadmill because I needed to workout before the sun came up but I'm still hoping for the warmer weather so I can get outside more! The last mile was tough and had to talk my way through it but I wasn't about to be that close without finishing it. I have been averaging a 12 min / mile and want to get that down as well but I'm also happy that I can maintain the pace as the distance increases.
I continue to be so VERY happy that I started tracking my mileage. I'm barely into my 2nd month and already racking up the miles - LOVE seeing that.
Still working on getting back to the weight I lost at the beginning of the month - hoping this week I'll have a loss! This week I'll be increasing my swim distances - still can't believe how much I love being in the pool. The water is so soothing early in the morning and I think about NOTHING but my stroke and breathing. It's nice to be able to detach from life!
I'm about 9 weeks away from officially starting 1/2 IM training - so I want to ensure that I get some good base training in before that starts. The minimum requirements to start that training are: swim 500 yds continuously, bike 1.5 hrs continuously and run 45 min continuously - all of which I can do - YIPPEE!
