Swim, bike, run: Week 7

Okay, so here's what really happened last week for training:

Monday - rest
Tuesday - walk/jog 31 min
Wednesday - bike
Thursday - rest
Friday - swim
Saturday - rest
Sunday - swim, bike, walk

Today, we had a trainer discuss running drills, which was great.
Swim: 22 laps, but was working on my breaststroke (which will be my racing rest stroke)
Bike: 10 miles
Walk: .5 miles

This week:

Monday - run
Tuesday - bike
Wednesday - swim
Thursday - run
Friday - bike
Saturday - run
Sunday - swim, bike, run

Training Schedule Week 6

Per Gael's suggestion, I'll try a real training schedule (scary!) For the Tri, she suggests a 3,2,1 schedule (e.g. 3 swims, 2 bikes, 1 run) with each activity rotating each week (e.g. the following week would be 3 bikes, 2 runs, 1 swim). The "rest" day should have a strength-building component, ideally push (push-up), pull (pull-up), and lift (squats). Here's my plan for this week:

Monday - rest (meh, it was a 3-day weekend...whatdya expect?)
Tuesday - walk (in place of running until my hip is better)
Wednesday - swim and/or strength
Thursday - bike
Friday - swim
Saturday - bike
Sunday - swim, bike, walk :-)

Swim, bike, run: Week 5

Feeling MUCH better today!!

Swim: 28 laps (3/4 mile) Working on cutting out my rest times between laps.
Bike: 9.1 miles
Walk: 1.75 miles

Got some good training tips from Gael today, followed by a great lunch with my teammates.

Hip is feeling better! Signing up for the Padden Tri this week...

Swim, bike, run: Week 4

Hit a wall today - was out of breath just taking a shower! Ugh.

Swim: 16 laps
Bike: 8.3 laps

No running or walking today. Stretching only. Hoping to rehab this hip to start running by St. Patrick's Day.

Swim, bike, run: Week 3

Skipped last Sunday to get the house ready for my dad's visit.

Swim: 28 laps (woo hoo - 3/4 of a mile!)
Bike: 8.7 miles
Walk/Run: 1.5 miles

On the treadmill, my right hip "popped" about 1 mile into my run, followed by excruciating pain. Stupid, stupid - too early to try running. Now I'm back to walking and rehabilitation of the joint. Bummer!!

Will start rehab with a carbo load on Super Bowl snacks...
