It's been a while since I posted. Last week I was not feeling great (still not 100%, but better than I was), so I only got to the gym 1 day. This week has been much better so far, but I am a little behind on updating my progress.
Monday: This was a running day, but we didn't have a lot of time at the gym. I ran 3 miles in around 26-27 minutes (I think). Then I finished with a good stretch.
Tuesday: Swimming. I swam 48 lengths in exactly 25 minutes. Race distance is 36 lengths or .5 miles. I did the first 1/4 mile in 10:24 seconds and I did the second 1/4 mile in 8 minutes 15 seconds. I think that I might be able to break 17 minutes on the swim, which would be cool.
Wednesday: Speed work. I did a 1 mile warm-up in about 8:45. Then a quick stretch and some water and it was back to the track. My intervals were 3 minutes where I would jog for 2 and run hard for 1. I felt like I was able to work harder on the track with these than on the treadmill because I was really able to open up my stride. I did 10 total repetitions which took 30 minutes. After the 4th sprint I started to cramp so instead of jogging 2 minutes I walked for 1:30 and jogged for :30 with a quick drink in there somewhere. On the rest of the reps, I was all out. I ended with another quick stretch. Emilee was in a fitness class that took an hour so I still had 15 minutes to kill. I went down and hopped on one of the seated (not upright) stationary bikes and did 5 miles in 14 minutes. Today felt good. More tomorrow.
