i have been frustrated by small, annoying sickness and injury. nothing that TOTALLY sidelined me, but a lot of small set backs. but, i am feeling better now. my last (dumb) injury is FINALLY on the mend and i have been successfully knocking out workouts.
last week i also officially started training for my next to events so i have my training calendar back. its so much easier for me to get what i need done when all i have to do is look at a single workout. so much less intimidating. its not a set in stone thing, but basically this is what i’m shooting for:
weekdays: 2 workouts each of swimming, running and cycling
weekends: 1 long workout each of swimming, running and cycling
before ‘official’ training started, i just tried to maintain a base so i wouldn’t be over doing it with my workout goals listed above. the most important to me is getting in all the swim workouts, cycling and running can be adjusted if need be.
swimming is intimidating the hell out of me. i’m a pretty strong swimmer. in a pool. but i’m getting sort of panicy just thinking about open water. i know the wet suit will help, but all the people and not being able to see the bottom. my heart is pounding just thinking about it. so, the swim. i just want to be so super strong that stamina is not so much as an inkling of a fear so i can just focus on keeping my heart rate down and my mind focused. once i climb out of that river, i’ll be golden.
