Weight training

As I have settled into this routine, Friday has become my normal weekly rest day.   So today, I had ice cream.  Actually as I think about it, I had ice cream three times today.   A small blizzard in the afternoon (because it was so hot and I have the 90 degree Blizzard rule), a skinny cow after dinner (because I forgot about the blizzard earlier) and a little ice cream for a snack while watching TV (probably because I got a little bored).    Normally, I couldn't get away with this.  

Thursday was training day with Cody Eubank.   It was also a weights only day.   With the fatigue for the week accumulating every day from the swim, I decided that it should be a no swim day.  My next swim is to be Saturday.  I am waiting to hear from my Mean Swim Coach what the program will be but I am expecting it to be a long swim again.  

There is never a dull moment with Cody and Cody hates to disappoint me.  Accordingly, he loves to put in all of my favorite exercises.   Probably my all time favorite is step up / lunges.    After all, nothing makes you feel alive like feeling like you are going to die.  You can imagine how thrilled I was to hear that Cody was going to let me experience this one more time. I also got to do what Cody likes to call Australian pushups, cleans, something like cleans but more for the shoulders, inclined bench press, another chest press machine, pull ups, and some others I can't recall right now.

Soooo, looking all of this over makes me realize that I really need to get busy and plan my workouts.   I can certainly tell when I am simply winging it both in training and in the diet.   I can get away with this every now and then BUT not indefinitely. 

I have now passed the 1 month out mark.   The actual triathlon will be 4 weeks from tomorrow.  

That's all for now!  Have a great evening and if you happen to hear from my Mean Swim Coach, tell her I am still waiting for my schedule for tomorrow and next week.
