So this morning marked my first structured swimming workout in 6+ years. Holy crap, I am out of shape. I did a relatively short work out and I am sore as hell. 6x50 free on 1 min warm up, 5x100 kick (free, fly, breast, back, free,) 4x100 pull, 4x25 sprint (fly, back, breast, free) and 2x25 free cool down. All in all, not a huge work out but man am I beat. I am really excited that I am able to go do workouts like that in the morning before work. I never would have been able to do that when I was taking the bus. It will be really nice to get back into swimming shape.
I’m planning on sticking to a pretty strict workout schedule from now on, we’ll see how it goes. I’m going to post it here just so it’s written down and I have at least something to hold myself too.
Mon-Swimming 5:30 AM
Tue-Running 1 Mile before work (increase distance gradually)
Wed-Swimming 5:30 AM
Thurs-Running (see Tue)
Fri-Cycling, to and from work
Sat-Either swimming or long distance running (3+ miles), early morning.
Sun-Hiking
I think that should make for a pretty damn good work out schedule. I may need to work in a day off in there somewhere but that is my tentative plan. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve got one day under my belt so far and I did do some pre-work running last week so I’m at least off to a good start.
I need to make sure I’m in shape for a triathlon at some point this year. As soon as I have the funds available I’m going to find a sprint distance tri and register for it. All the ones I have found are about $45 to register. Stupid registration fees… I’ll get registered for one though. :) Also, I plan to run the Murray Youth and Family Tri that I did last year. It’s just a short one but it was a pretty fun event and I’d like to do it again. Well, I think that’s all for now. I should probably get to work, I guess.
