It's On Baby!!!!!

Got the "Official" TriItForLife training schedule at the kickoff on Sunday.  Have been working on it this week.  As the training times increase I am trying to figure out how I am going to maintain my strength training (which I really like because I am actually starting to lean out some) and add the actual tri training.  Guess I will switch strength to mornings since most training sessions are in the evenings.


And yes - I increased the actual running part of my slogging today - I actually "ran" (I use the word loosely) for a total of 8 minutes out of 20.  YY - I know I'm not breaking any world records here - but I HATE to run :P


Someone please tell me again why I am doing a tri???????

Heavy lifting my A........

OK - I must admit - I like going to the gym and throwing some iron around.  I have been working on my strength in preparation for the big push to RR-RH.  My training partner Miss Y and I have been egging each other on.  I missed a handful of workouts in the past couple of weeks (my boys were completing the driving part of Driver's Ed - which coincided annoyingly with my gym time) while she has been steadily going on. She has a trainer (she is on a figure competition plan - though she has no plans to compete).  Y got her new sets of workouts to start today.  She has been letting me lead the way at the gym - but we did her trainer's suggested routine today.  <pout> I didn't even break a sweat.  I did however up my weight significantly.  Tomorrow - legs!!!  (My faves :) )
