Another day....more goals!

So these past few days have been really great! Lots of training even though real life seems to want to get in the way!

I did have to shuffle a workout and double up on Saturday because of the Flames game on Friday but im ok with that...it still got done!

Going swimming everyday has made such a huge improvement...I am going to continue this and my secret goal is to be able to join a masters swim group by the middle of January! We will see....I had my second last swim lesson and showed up an hour early...oooops...so I got a two hour workout and my swim coach was life guarding before the class and was so impressed with the improvements! She had me swim intervals and do some arm work and then just lots more practice...but atleast no more blowing bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have been getting on the bike 10 minutes everyday that I do not have to bike just to get used to the saddle and it seems to be helping too...not nearly as sore! Tonight I am going to start my first night of bike classes with my coach Greg. I was going to do it on my own but I am having trouble staying motivated and know I will do better and improve more if I go to the classes, im starting late so hopefully I can keep up tonight! It will be nice to meet some others training aswell! Just not sure how I will get my bike there, lol

So my training this week has been good for the most part...I didnt push hard last night as I know I have a killer workout tonight, and I skipped my daily swimming yesterday and Friday as I was just too tired. Friday I actually slept thru the whole thing!

M - B 45 min, R 15 min
T - B 45-50 min, S 45 min (I will be biking for 90mins instead)
W - Rest
T - R 40-50 min, S 45 min (I will bike for 90 mins instead of the run and will swap the run for tomorrows bike workout)
F - B 55-65 min
S - R 55-60 min
S - S 60 min

So a few minor adjustments again, and will be keeping up the daily swim and bike for improvement reasons.

Now for my new goals...I still have to run these by Greg....and Phil...but I think I have figured out my 2009 Race Schedule!

April 5 - MRC Sprint Triathlon
April 26 - Police Half Marathon
May 31 - Calgary Marathon
June 14 - Arbour Lake Triathlon
August 2 - Ironman 70.3 Calgary

I also plan on volunteering at the Try-it Triathlong on June 1st, the Chinook half iron on June 20th, and Ironman Canada on August 30! SOoooo excited

And yes you read that right...a marathon! I think it will be a good half way goal for me....Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever even consider a marathon but this is goign to be a year of a lot of firsts....I am going to do it! In some ways it seems even scarier to me that the triathlon, so it will be nice to have the confidence to know I can do it and it will make the half marathon I have to run a whole lot nicer!

WISH ME LUCK!
