Get Moving

Despite being sick, yesterday was actually a good day training wise. Spent two hours at the gym in the morning, biked 26 miles on the random hill setting at a 2.5 min/mi pace and did countless sit ups and figure 8's with the medicine ball.

Felt so much better after leaving the gym, much more renewed and my head was so much less congested. Had a great afternoon with the kids, enjoyed the day and the cooler temperatures (if the high 90's are considered "cooler temperatures").

Went for a short but productive run last night after it cooled off some. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as making time for the PFT. Managed a 9:24 min/mi for 1.4 miles, getting closer and closer to the 8 min/mi for 1.5 miles that I need to hit. It was hot and I was a sweaty mess by the time I made it back to the house, but I was happy-ish with the results.

I was looking back at my blog last night and I realized it's really only been two weeks of hard work (and even then I've been slacking more than I probably should be) and I've come a long way already. I can't wait to finally see the numbers I want to see and I'm sort of having fun finding new ways to work out. I never thought I'd enjoy biking as much as I do and it doesn't seem like I'm all that bad at it. Maybe this whole triathlon thing isn't such a far off idea.
