Tri Dreaming

Wow, I've learned my lesson for not lifting for 2 weeks. Bad decision. Granted, I was trying to baby my heel, but even so, I'm not sure my heel ever hurt as bad as my legs do today :) It's a good hurt though... at least it proves that I'm doing something by continuing to lift! I'll get in at least one more body pump hour this week and hopefully aim for 3 next week.

This morning I dragged myself out of bed to go to the gym on the way to work. I've decided (at least until swim class starts again) that Tues/Thurs am I will swim before work which will enable me to do something later that night as well. So far, so good. I've gone twice now! yeah!! I think my soreness really took a toll on my swim workout this morning. Again I only swam for about half an hour cause I was later than I had hoped and the pool was fairly crowded. I got in about 1400 yards (maybe a few more, but I lost count) but I felt like crap pretty much the entire time. I also have a really hard time breathing in the morning and I think that is largely because it's winter and I'm battling a cold. Can't seem to clear out the respiratory system too well these days. Hopefully that will fix itself soon.

Aside from that, I have volleyball tonight and would like to get in another workout but I'm not sure what exactly that will be. I'm contemplating skipping volleyball as well since I really wasn't supposed to be on the team in the first place. We'll see.

I did get my run in yesterday and the weather was beyond beautiful. I'd probably guess about 32 degrees, sunny and little wind. I loved it. Unfortunately, I don't know my way around Waterloo yet so I had to ask someone for directions and they had to kind of guess the mileage. I'm hoping it was at least 3 but since I felt so good, I kind of wonder. I think it was 3.5 based on time. Could have gone all day. Then, as already mentioned, I made it to body pump after work before heading home.

I guess that's it for the tridreams today... cycling tomorrow, I used a new mix for Tuesday night's cycling class and they said it was good and hard so I think I'll try it out on my class and see what they think. I'll probably just have to tell Jen to work her class harder :)

Happy training to all... Friday is not far away!
