Triathon training 4/14/2010

Swim day. Except I’m not swimming yet. I’m feeling like I learned enough last season that I can post decent swim times without spending so much time in the damned indoor pool at Lifetime Fitness. It’s cold and cloudy and not much fun. Perhaps this strategy will be my downfall.

So I’ll be doing Steve Maxwell’s 300 Kettlebell Challenge workout. It’s a great, lung busting 26 minute circuit workout. I’ve got my 36lb kettlebell ready to roll.

Run day.

3 miles, nice and slow. Barefoot running on the treadmill. Time 29.56. Ran in the morning. Felt slow. Now, off to see 24 patients.
