Up until now I have been using a mash-up of different training schedules to get me "warmed up" since I hadn't reached any of the prerequisites on the tri-newbie's training schedule. Well I am happy to report that I have reached the running and biking start points, but swimming is still eluding me. Even though the tri-newbies schedule is for 11 weeks, I figure with school vacation week and kids sick time I better star now so that at the end I should be all set.
Last weeks workout stats:
Tuesday: running on treadmill, 40 minutes walk/run combo 3.3 miles
Wednesday: abs and arms workout, 30 minutes: very sore arms the next day!
Thursday: running with Cindy on treadmill, 40 minutes walk.run combo 3.1 miles
Saturday: running on treadmill, 40 minutes walk/run combo 2.5 miles (huh?????)
I am a fair weather athlete, meaning that the temperature has to be over 50 degrees for me to be running outside! I am looking forward to that day, hopefully Mother Nature will let spring come soon!
I have also found that I like running with music or having someone running with me to talk to. I tried on Saturday running without music and within 5 minutes grabbed my iPod. I like biking in the silence, but for some reason I am not going fast enough running!
Until next week.......
