Today was technically day one. I've got 18 weeks until my race.
On the to do list today was to swim 1,000 yards and bike 20 miles.
I was lucky and had the day off from school (praise) and also I just don't have work on Mondays. So since I had all day and was feeling energetic I did a little extra.
I went to my favorite 9:00 spin class, I couldn't get there before class so I just kept riding after class ended until I hit my 20 miles.
Then I decided to do a light jog for 40 minutes. And when I say light I mean it, not fast for most of it. I'm not sure how far I went, being on a small indoor track makes it hard to keep track. But I did keep track of my last 2 miles and did them around a 7.5 -8 minute pace.
Next was a much needed long stretch session/rolling out on the foam roller. Then I finished that off with a little bit of abs and light arm workout.
Then it was time to hit the pool...it seriously took so much self discipline to get me in there.
But never fear, I did make it. I did a solid 500 first, then took a "break" to do the swimming drills we're assigned for my class. These are not easy! They are sooo basic but I love it because that's just what I need. Then (even though I did not want to) I did my last 500 set. It kind of hurt.
BUT I've got to say that it felt great to do all the things that I had set out to do that day.
