Might have done some more in the drills department, but I can't quite remember. I am surprisingly fast when I just stick the buoy between my legs and swim using only my arms. I try to do this a lot during races to preserve my legs for the bike and run. Pool felt great. Still having trouble turning my head thanks to a pulled shoulder muscle. Must have worked up a nice sweat, because even with wet hair I was still nice and warm on the short walk back to the car. And it def was not warm outside! Ok off to make dinner now. Am looking forward to my brick workout tomorrow am!!!

Week 2 back to training plan!

Owwy..pulled my shoulder while doing weights on Friday. Still managed to get my run in on Saturday, did 50 minutes instead of 30. Feeling A-ok today! =) Well except for the pain that radiates out from my shoulder up my neck and down my back. But hey at least my legs are good to go! So here's the plan for this week! Going to lay off the weights a bit.

Monday-Swim
Tuesday-easy brick
Wed-swim
Thurs-bike (intervals) or spin class
Friday-off
Sat-long bike
Sun-long run

"Officially" Training Again

The 20 week training plan doesn't begin until the end of February, but I need to start getting back into a more structured training plan. Actually I crave it right now! I've been hitting the weight room big time out of winter boredom, so now I need to start upping the cardio sessions. I'm finally able to run again without any serious pain. My left calf cramps up pretty badly but that I can deal with. Monday I spent about 15 minutes on the rollers. Am finally starting to feel comfortable on them again. Then I did an hour long spin session at the gym. I didn't think I was a spin person, but one class a couple a weeks back and now I'm hooked. I ordered a tri saddle for my bike and it finally came in yesterday. So I dropped my baby off at the bike store today to have it put on. Its preeetty! Has some pink accents on it which match the pink bar tape. I really didn't like the paint color on my bike when I saw it in the magazine, but now I love it. Def very me! Anywho here's the plan....

Monday: 15-20 minutes on rollers
(unplanned) 60 minute spin class
Tues: 20 minutes on cross trainer, tris and chest weights
Wed: 15 minute swim, whatever else I do depends on how much time I have left when I get to the gym aka work (may try and throw in a super short run)
15 minute run outdoors (BRrrr)
25 minutes cross trainer
Thurs: LEGS!!! ,60 minutes Spin
Friday: Shoulders and Bis
Saturday: 50 minute run
Sunday: OFF
