Swim-Lift-Bike-Run

Today was a tough day.  I hit the pool this morning for 1/2 hour and worked hard.  Warmed up with a 200 and then did about 7x100s on 1:35-1:40.  The HR was around 150, but I am pretty sure I hit the 160s at one point.  I was tired going into this workout and dreaded the afternoon lift-bike-run segment.  

Hit the gym for round 2 at about 2:00 and was happy to survive and finish the entire workout. The legs were sore going into it and they were tired while lifting.  I had to drop down to 25 lbs dumbells for the lunges set, but I did get through it.  After the lifting I spent 15 min. on the bike (Average HR was 119) and spent 15 min. on the treadmill (Average HR was 147).

I am feeling really tired, but excited about working on this plan that Max put together.  As I was running today, I kept thinking about how far I have come from last year.  Last year at this time, I was just getting into this stuff and my workouts were much less focused and less challenging.  It feels good to go to the gym with a plan and I am feeling very focused on my goal.   Looking forward to week 2!

Dude, you need to update your blog on a regular basis. Get into the habit of daily updates would ya. You haven't posted since Sat., you better be on the plan.

I'm bored as hell and looking for entertainment and reading material while I recuperate.
