Today I ran 6 miles in 47:55. It was pretty nice not to have a long run today.
Today I cycled 28.30 miles in 1:30:12. I am actually working on trying to bring my cycling speed up a bit.
This all reminds me of another reason I decided to do my long run on Fridays. Previously I was devoting 3-4 hours every Saturday to working out. The feeling I get from the accomplishment is great. But the drain on my time on my only true day off is taxing to me. I have little time for other things, especially my family. So this will give me an extra hour that I would not have had under my previous training schedule.
I also have totally forgot to mention something pretty significant. I have entered my first triathlon. The race is July 30. It is a sprint triathlon. I am not a swimmer, which I hear is very common for runners to say (and just as common for swimmers to say they are not runners). I have never really swam any distance to see how long I could swim. So, starting the week after Christopher and I got back from Monterey, I have been swimming two times a week, usually Tuesdays and Thursdays. Though my time is still pitiful, I have gotten a lot better. I have increased the distance I swim and brought down my time. I have worked up to 400 yards swimming and that takes me about 12:30 minutes (now).
