I successfully completed my first week but also since I actually did both a swim and run workout today, I completed my first two a day. Yay me! I did a 40 minute foundation run and a 7ish minute cool down and made it a little more than 4 miles. The only part of my body experiencing any funny business is my back but that's because I have a lingering back problem from 10 years of abusing my body with the sport of field hockey and refusing to ever develop abs.
Anyway, looking at the week ahead, I'm a little nervous. I have an exam on Tuesday and two papers due on Friday, which is when I'll be driving back to NY. Then on Saturday, I'll be on a plane to St. Maarten for Spring Break. I must admit, relaxing in the sun and not working out for a whole week sounds tempting, but I know I'll regret it. What I'm trying to do is two workouts a day Monday through Thursday, then one workout Friday morning before I drive to NY, leaving Saturday and Sunday workout free. I figure I'll take Saturday off and do a short run (20 or 30 minutes) on Sunday to keep myself going. Then try my very best to get at least 7 of my 9 workouts in throughout the week and leave 2 for Sunday when I'm back in Baltimore.
My thinking is that swimming won't be difficult on an island--it will just be open water swimming, which is good training. The only problem is it will have to be timed rather than a measured distance and it will probably be a long swim rather than a set because that's pretty difficult in open water. I can find a place to run that is relatively safe--I did last year in Barbados. The biking, however, will have to be on a stationary bike, if they actually have one in the fitness center (fingers crossed).
Anyway, this is still a week away, but I can't stop dreaming about lying on a beach with a cool alcoholic beverage in my hand. I feel like I'm in a Corona commercial haha. I should probably get back to actually accomplishing work now! Goodnight!
