So, after looking at a couple websites and in my book for training guides, I think I've come up with a plan that works for me. I know that if I want to even finish the race, I need to follow it as closely as possible. Lots of things came up the past few weeks to prevent me from going to the gym---bad weather, sick kiddos, lazy MoM. 18 weeks will go by fast. And it's SO easy and I'm very guilty of doing it, but making excuses will be the worst thing I can do. My sister arrives on Tuesday, so I'm hoping this week will be easy in terms of doing everything I NEED to do. She's a built in babysitter for the week :)
I think I've been overdoing it on the treadmill, so I'm going by the book.
Week 1 plan of attack
Monday: Chest & Back (P90X)
Tuesday: 27 minutes walking/3 minutes running on treadmill
35 minutes in pool; 100 warmup, 8x25 freestyle, 6x50 back/freestyle,
4x100 breast/freestyle, 200 freestyle with buoy, 100
cool down. TOTAL YDS= 1300yds
Wednesday: Shoulders & Arms (P90X)
Thursday: 27 minutes walking/3 minutes running on treadmill
35 minutes in pool; 100 warmup, 12x25 freestyle, 6x50 back/freestyle,
6x50 breast/freestyle, 200 freestyle with buoy, 100
cool down. TOTAL YDS= 1300yds
Friday: Spin Class
Saturday: Legs & Back (P90X)
Sunday: Rest Day!
I hope I can stay true to my plan. I know I can do it, and I WANT to do it. I'll be back in a few days to check in. I hope to post more often so I can write about the impact of my workouts. About whether or not I need to tweak the running, swimming, or biking.
Only time will tell!
Until next time,
Christi
