Back on Track

It feels good to be back on track. I have no "official" training plan for any of my endeavors, just winging it. the important thing is to do some type of Tri activity training every day. Monday is always strength training. I can't say enough good things about the trainers at Discover Strength and how important postive feedback is. Today I received a postcard from a trainer. Just highlights of my progress since November. The dreaded leg press... I have improved by over 30 lbs. One of my least favorites Adduction/Abduction (I call it the thigh master) increased over 20lbs. Then to tell me "these are truly impressive improvements". Wow made my day, and don't we all need a little boost to our self-esteem every now and then.
Tuesday we ran like the wind or should I say with the wind and then into it. 6.5 miles, a great run with Roxie and Cindy and a nice pace! We started kicking around the idea of going to New Orleans next year to run the Mardi Gras Rock-n-Roll half marathon.
Wedenesday was swim day. Into the pool for an hour. I had to ask what the length of the pool was and found out its 25 meters, so 64 laps equals one mile. Question is... is one length of the pool one lap? I did 70 so I swam a little more than a mile. Which is good considering the Chisago Lakes Half Iron is a 1.2 mile swim. it would be best to get a minimum of two swim workouts in a week. I am still considering swim lessons, maybe in May.
Looks like my training is back on track the best it can be.
