2nd Week of Training

I am about to finish my second week of training and I am happy to say I have not missed a workout.  Last Sunday I got a 45 min bike in on the trainer.  Then followed up with a 30 min bike and 30 min run on Monday.  Took my day of rest last Tuesday.  Swim-lift-bike-run on Wednesday.  45 min bike on Thursday.  45 min swim on Friday and another swim-lift-bike-run this morning.

My swim workouts were awesome this week.  I am really striving to swim 100s on 1:30 and coming close most of the time.  When I do hit 1:30 my HR is a little too high (around 160 bpm), but the hard work feels good.  Today I actually swam about 1400 yds in only 1/2 hour.  Started with a 300 yd warm up.  Followed that with 6 100's on 30 seconds rest.  Did a 300 yd swim at a decent pace and then cooled down with 200.  Later in the day I went back to the gym for the lift-bike-run portion of the day.  I was really tired before I got started, but I was psyched that I really had no problem finishing.  I think I am getting used to the weight training.  The only problem I have is that the dumb bells are a little hard to hold onto when doing my lunges.  My arms are really pretty weak and tire quickly when doing lunges.  It is a shame, because I think I could handle a little more weight with the legs, but the arms don't like it.
