Days one and two over in a lifelong journey!

One thing I've noticed about training for something like this, even at this early stage, is how time consuming it is.  The amount of time one needs to spend training can easily take up every spare minute, (even some that aren't spare.)  Fortunately we were graced with creativity and that is an essential tool to getting my workouts in.

My work schedule allows me to have 2 days off after working two and having a three day weekend every other week.  Most of the training schedules I have found have a set order of days that end up being high intensity and some that are "short" days.  The days off will be my long days with 2 workouts each day while working days will be "recovery" days with only one workout.

The past two days have been a great start. Between the two days I have run a total of 1 hr and 45 min at 10.65 miles and 2 hours of biking at 26 miles. I split the bike and runs up with my runs at noon and biking around 5pm.  I had a lot of soreness after yesterday but today have felt pretty good!  Off to a great start. Now it's time to find a pool.....
