Ramblings
I am troubled with the direction to take with my workouts. As I have posted I am training for a marathon in June and a Triathalon in May. I am trying to find a happy balance that I can live with both mentally and physically. I need to be running a 15 miler this weekend, but I also want to do the Tri distance. What I am having problems with is doing two a days and being able to recover (being almost 62 sucks as far as recovery). Maybe once the swimming becomes more natural, it could be worked into two a days. A run with a swim later. A bike ride with a swim. No impact so easier recovery. So a long run every other weekend on Fri. or Sat. with a long bike ride on the run off weekends. I recover from the bike ride quicker than the run so there should be plenty of rest? Where can I fit in doing the TRI distance without crashing my body. Maybe a three week rotation with a run, bike and the tri distance on consective weekends. I would have to increase my runs by 2 mile increments, but only doing a long run every three weeks would give me plenty of rest. I will try this and post how it goes. Yesterday got in 50 minutes of Insanity,(don't know where Insanity will fit in), which burned a little over 500 calories. Carolyn did work for 5 hours and it really wore her out. We will see what today brings. Sorry about the book. It's just me thinking and you know that can be dangerous. Just Workout

I don't mind your book posts. I have did a lot of thinking about where I want to take my blog and I want to make it more than just a work out tracker. I need to write about life events, etc... because it's been a while since I've kept a journal and this is how I will make up for that. Plus it gives everyone a little insight to what is going on in my life over here. Keep it up, I enjoy it. Love ya.
