Swimming

Well I've decided I'm going to learn the proper way to swim. Wow, I s_ck! LOL
As you know I'm in pretty good condition, however I'm really having problems breathing while I swim. It seems like I just get tired to quick. I've been to the YMCA 3 times this week. I'm thinking positive. It's just going to take a while. I've managed to run 82.5 miles so far this month. I've also been doing 2 Bike Spin classes weekly & also 1 core ab's class per week. Its working my body hard. But I'm sure it will have to help come warmer weather. Like I said, I plan on a Triathlon with year. Wish me luck.

spin class

I was only able to get about 27 miles last week. The weather was typical for this time of year. Snow, Ice & slush. Yesterday was the 1st I'd been out in a while. The roads had snow on then, but was still able to get 7.47 miles in. It was only 19 degrees out, but it felt good to be on the road again.
Last week I also added a different addition to my training. I did a core ab class on Tues. and a bike spinning class in Wed. and Friday. Wow, I was sore! They both really work you hard. I think I'm going to keep them both in my work out schedule. Even if my miles are down, that will be a true benefit for my body.
Wish me well.

I hit my goal

I did it. Over 1000 running miles in 2008. The day before the new year I needed 10 more miles. I knew the weather was suppose to get bad. So I said to my self, It's now or never. I set out after work at a good pace. In 1 hr & 56 minutes I put on 12.2 miles.....I did it! My legs were sore but it was worth all the hard work over the last 2 months.

I took off a few days to rest up and enjoy the holidays....But the whole deal starts up again 2maro morning....I'm going for 1200 for 2009. Wish me luck.
