Well I don't know about everyone else out there but man am I glad tomorrow is Friday! I've had just about enough of this week. I hate when spring comes only because of the mud! It is such a pain in the ass to lug 50 lbs of mud around on your boots and to be covered in the stuff at the end of the day! But there isn't much I can do about that for now. Besides it does make my day one big long leg workout. Think positive or some crap like that!
On to my actual training for the evening. Did a 300 M swim tonight and followed my training plan to a T. Turns out it works quite well. Tonight was a 50 M warm up followed by 8 X 25 M with 10 seconds of rest between, followed by a 50 M cool down. Makes sense. An easy way to get your distance up without sacrificing speed. Looked ahead in my training program and it follows this type of system right through. Of course the distances start to increase but you get the idea.
After the swim I did a 30 minute walk for a distance of 2.6 Km. It was actually really nice and relaxing. The walk is a way to do active recovery and to tell you the truth it really helped. This 30 minute walk turns up once a week from now on and I like it. It totally loosened everything up tonight and allowed me to do an awesome stretch after. Nice to just listen to some tunes and relax.
So over all I must admit that I am really enjoying my training. It takes my mind off of things like work and it is really just relaxing. I hope to start my weight training next week and I will be sure to keep you up to date on that too. I am really looking forward to adding another dimension to my training. I also think this training is becoming a habit also becoming a little bit of an addiction. I know it sounds stupid but I fell pretty awesome after my workouts and I am really starting to crave that every night. So hopefully that continues and drives me to get better!
