With two weeks complete I am pleasantly encouraged. Don’t get me wrong, I fully realize that over the next 8 months I will not only not be encouraged, but probably discouraged. But I am going to take the good feels as they come and try to hang on to them through the not so good feel times.
Saturday swam for an hour and then a 45 minute run. I was able to finish the run with a nice pace in which I felt strong and in control. Pam is adding an extra 15 minutes to each of our runs because she is running the New Orleans 1/2 Marathon in about 4 weeks. I was super impressed with her running this weekend as well. Longest bike on the trainer this morning, 1.5 hours, and I did not HATE it. I can’t say the same for Rob. He was definitely Diva-like (just like the Snickers commercial) during our ride. I am not sure if it was the workout or something else, but he sure was bitchy. We alternated between higher gears and lower gears with easy spinning. By the last high gear, my legs were feeling it – but the time went relatively fast. I definitely think the Law and Order episodes help pass the time. I sure hope that time slot is kept for Law and Order through the spring 🙂
We have decided that the ability to sleep a couple hours longer on Saturday and Sunday mornings is very helpful in feeling good with these weekend workouts. So… with tomorrow being our day off, I am looking forward to changing the alarm clock to a later wake-up time. Happy start of the week! I am a bit nervous as my evening gig teaching at Viterbo University starts Tuesday and Thursday this week. I will let you know at the end of the week how it goes with all of the workouts.
