Olympic Training: Week Two.

Good news!

In spite of my Parade of Aliments last week, I still managed to get in five of my six planned workouts. This is much better than I'd projected at the start of last week, when I couldn't breathe and was wondering where the Mack truck that hit me was driving off to.

A quick recap:

On Monday and Tuesday, I took some time off to recover (though I did lift weights on Monday), which served me well, because then, on Wednesday, I was able to swim and lift weights. And while I wasn't able to complete my full swim workout, I got the lion's share done, which was great to me.

On Thursday, I did my short run AND my short bike.

On Friday, I lifted weights and swam nearly my full workout (leaving only about 200 meters on the table), which was another marked improvement in the Lung Department. :)

Then, on Saturday, I biked outdoors and got in some hill (and wind!) work. Beginning in February, I'm going to start climbing hills in earnest so I can prepare for the Red Hills. I also bowled four games that afternoon so as to get in a little extra practice before league night. I think I'm going to start trying to work in some practice games each week so I can improve faster! Only I'm not going to do so right before league night again, I don't think. I was feeling pretty sore and tired last night in competition.

And, speaking of, yesterday I bowled three games at the league. It was great fun!
