Because I am trying to chronicle my journey to the starting line of Ironman Lake Placid, I feel like I need to mention the senseless act of violence unleashed on my fellow runners in Boston. Although information is still coming out its pretty clear this was a terrorist event designed to hurt, kill and draw attention. I pray for those directly and indirectly affected and that justice is delivered swiftly and convincingly.
Today was another swim day. I am holding steady at 1200 yards with a combination of pull buoy, kickboard work and straight swim work. My knee felt good throughout the swim. I wasn't able to get my walk in during school because of our modified testing schedule, but I did do some leg work in the weight room. The hamstring curls and leg extensions are getting a bit easier. My PT session was scheduled for 6:30 tonight so I had time to walk after school. I got in 4.7 miles in 66 minutes.
I have decided to scale back the upper body work now that I am beginning to focus on triathlon training. From now on I'll be doing upper body on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and core work on Monday, Wednesday and possibly one other day (Friday or Saturday) depending on what the rest of the workouts look like for the rest of the week. With tri training, in studio PT sessions and at home PT work it's getting tough to fit it all in and still have time for a semi-regular life. Since I did some core work yesterday and had to squeeze in my walk before PT I didn't do any other workouts today.
