Today is a Monday that is also the first day of the month. It's not an incredibly rare event, of course, but it's the type of day I like. What better to start a phase of training than on a Monday that is the first of the month? For some reason, I always find it easy to start something new on the Mondays that are the first of the month. It just feels right, and so it's easier to keep it up.
So what did I start today? I finally got my lazy butt out of bed in the morning and got on the bike trainer this morning! Yes, indeed, and it felt great! I followed that up with a quick trip to the gym for my weight lifting routine. I expect to be sore tomorrow from the lifting, so I'm planning to do a 1,000 yard swim just to stretch out a bit and to get a feel for the water again. I also want to swim a bit to help keep my weight down over the winter. At lunch, I ran an easy 5 miles on an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS sunny day! Life is good.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
