I attempted a midafternoon run yesterday. It didn't go so well. And I thought I was getting used to running in the sun! Oh well, I needed a rest day so yesterday was it.
My husband turned me on to a book, Fire Your Gym. It is basically a 9 week Crossfit-light program. No complicated Oly lifts or anything like that. So I'm going to incorporate those workouts into my training.
On tap today:
2.5 mile walk followed up by Day 1. Day 1 is basically a fit test of sorts. 400 m run, 40 air squats, 30 sit ups, 20 push ups, 10 pull ups for time. Edit: 00:09:35
Then while the kids are playing at the pool I'm going to just do a quick unbroken (hopefully) 100 m. This will be the first attempt since getting my breathing straightened out. Edit: I did several laps, freestyle, back, and just kick while holding on to boychild in his float. I did not do 100 unbroken. But I did do 50 unbroken. That's something. It's also the first time I've done laps since my lesson last week...
And this evening I have a Spin class. If I don't get to the Spin class, I'll ride on my trainer. That's probably the better idea so I can get my ass acclimated to the saddle and aero bars. It's an hour ride.
Busy day for me.
Side note: My local running store is looking for mentors to help out with their beginner 5k program so I emailed and said I was interested. Hopefully they'll bite and shoot me an email back. It'll be fun. And it'll get me out of the house some for some adult interaction, which is sorely needed.
