the pants report.. week one.
alright folks... week one of the new year is in the books. and.. because HIM training is no joke and someone's gotta hold me accountable...
i'm following in bold's footsteps and recounting my week in numbers.
and here they are:
spinning... 3 hrs.
running... 6 miles
swimming... 1250 yds
crossfit... 20 minutes
i know i know... kinda weak. at least compared to my fellow athletes, but let me assure you... o.u.c.h.
this body is NOT used to logging that much leg time. or arm time. or really just movement at all.
i used my paddles in thursday's swim for the first time and hi. someone should have mentioned how sore those things will make you.
BUT... i finished. i got it done, and although i've got quite a bit of work ahead of me, i'm glad to be able to check it all off my list and move on to what's up next.
January 7th?! ... 23 weeks to go!

You start, and then you build. You're right on track!

You have moves to log...that's the main thing. Bring on the moves.

We're pretty much on par with each other, although you're head on the spinning front.
Nice, AJ.

If you make it through this week, you should probably treat yourself to a massage!

Good Luck! I just finished week one of training for the Eugene Marathon myself. I've been trying to get up the courage to try out a triathalon, but no luck yet!

sounds right on track for this far out from a half im.
careful with the paddles!!! don't overdo it, and if you're left sore too much, just back off a little. really, not more than a few laps with those suckers right outta the gate.
