Yesterday I went back to running at the gym. I was very disappointed to have snow on my car again. I don't mind getting up early to go and exercise but I hate the cold walk to and from my car. When I was at the gym I hopped on the treadmill and ran a quick 5 miles. Not a very exciting morning, but I was able to maintain about an 8.5 minute mile pace.
The interesting thing about being a swimmer that I forgot is that when you sweat while running you start to smell like chlorine. I have been blessed to have been running next to a few stinky people the last few weeks, and now I guess I am one of them.
This morning I went with Monique to the gym and she did the elliptical and I did the bike. Sadly this was my first time riding a "bike" longer than 10 minutes in the past few years. The spinning class started at 5:30, but we didn't get there until 6:00 so I decided not to join them. I didn't feel too bad, because I hate starting out training again with people who are in much better shape. I feel less obvious when I just swim, bike or run on my own. I managed to go for about 50 minutes and about 19 miles on the bike. Getting off the bike my legs felt like jello. I will be honest it made me a little nervous to think that in a little over six weeks I will be getting of a much longer bike ride to then go for a long run.
Tomorrow I plan on swimming again. My goal is to go 3,200 + yards.
