Triathlon Plan

The plan I decided to follow through with to keep up with my NYR is going to include but not be limited to 3 hour long workouts a week. My goal is to participate in a triathlon in the fall so I will train in all 3 areas of a triathlon; biking, swimming, and running.

Biking:
*Ride at least 10 miles at a moderate pace.
*Carry my bike up and down the stairs to my second floor condo.

Swimming:
*Swim for 1 hour
*Intervals of intense to moderate pace.

Running:

*Jog at least 1 mile, and add to that as my endurance builds

This plan should be easy to stick too. In addition I walk my dog 3 times a day around my neighborhood, it is about 3/4 mi distance, I will power walk instead of just strolling to get more exercise into my daily routine.

New Years Resolution

Similar to most of America, my new years resolution was to get myself into shape. Ideally I would like to participate in a triathlon in the fall. I realized last night that it is already the second week of January and I really haven't done any sort of physical activity, or started a workout regime. Not a good start to my plan, so...

Feeling motivated I decided that I would take advantage of Tuesdays being my day off and start biking. I woke up early and took a 15 mile bike ride, i rode from my condo to A1A at Linton Blvd in Delray Beach, then rode 7 miles south to Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton. I took Palmetto to Federal Highway and rode that all the way back to my starting point. After the ride I felt great and decided to put together a fitness plan to help myself stay on track and continue being motivated. I decided that I would have to do at least 3 workouts a week in order to get into shape. During high school i was an athlete and when I got to college I didn't continue playing any sports and became pretty lazy. With this NYR hopefully I can get into the mode of living an athletic lifestyle again.
