I looked at my "LifeTicker" App today and I ONLY have 3 months and 17 days left before my Half Ironman and 9 months and 15 days until my Full Ironman. I feel like I'm really making some strides and improving in all 3 areas. It's a slow process but dedication, drive, persistence, lots of prayer and repeating "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" is the key.
My training plan this morning (swimming) was:
Warm Up = 200 yards regular; 200 yards catch-ups; 200 yards finger tip drag; Main= 8 x 50 yards (20 sec rest between each); 4 x 100 yards (20 rest between); 2 x 200 yards (20sec rest); Cool Down= 4 x 50 yards easy (30 sec rest)
I was finished and out of the pool by 5:55am this morning (I got to sleep in since I only had 1 exercise to do today). I came home and did the usual routine of fixing breakfast for the family and then taking my son to school.
