still at it

Here i am midway through week 2 and will hit 9 hrs of training by Saturday. So far it is manageable but difficult because I am so busy at work right now. Thank God for a loving and supportive wife.

Day 3 update

I had an easy ride on the trainer Monday and another long swim full of drills today followed by a little strength training. It is challenging to train this time of year for me because work i so busy. It takes lots of patience.

Day 1

Today was the big kick off day. I failed to wake at 6 am to knock out my swim because I stayed up later than usual Saturday night. I waited until after church/lunch/grocery and I really did not feel like going and getting wet. This is SO out of my family routine for Sundays but I committed and I did it and it actually felt great.
Here's the workout:
WU: 300 swim/100 drill for warm up
MS: 300 swim w/ pull buoy – then 100 drill – repeat as many times as you can in 45 minutes. Swim effort on the 300s is steady – not hard, not easy. NO STOPPING.
CD: 100

It was much different than my usual training method of "just swim". It was a real workout, a heart-pumoing calorie burner!
Now off to the couch for some Masters coverage and a short snooze.
