Spring Break

Posted by SharynLS on Apr 6, 2010 7:34:06 PM

My husband and daughter were out of school last week for Spring Break, so we headed up to VA to stay with his parents.  We had a great time!  We went to D.C., Williamsburg ...etc.   I had planned to ride my in-laws stationary bike every day....

 

That didn't happen.  I only rode it twice.  I was active though....we did a lot of walking and my eating was good.  I only had a few pieces of Easter Candy....

 

Today I went and signed up for a one month pass at a nearby county fitness center.  I can go to any fitness center/aquatic center in the county with my pass for the next month!!  After I paid for it, I was on the treadmill for 30 minutes....and went 1.6 miles.  My shins were starting to hurt.....so I didn't push myself very much.  Not sure what to do about that.

 

I then rode a stationary bike for 30 minutes and went 6.9 miles.   I was thinking I could go 8 miles in 30 minutes....I really have no idea what a good pace is.

 

For the Sprint Triathlon (which is exactly 2 months from today!!!)  I was thinking I wanted to do the 5K in 45 minutes or less, the 12mile bike ride in 45 minutes and then the 1/4 mile swim in the Gulf in 15-20 minutes, which would have me finishing the whole thing in under 2 hours.     I need to find out if the 12 miles in 45 minutes is realistic for my fitness level...

 

Tomorrow, I am going to the aquatic center and time myself swimming 400m.  It's a 25m pool...so, 8 laps.   It will be interesting to see how I do.  I have always been a good swimmer and am comfortable in the water...but not sure how my endurance is.

 

Still hoping to find a workout buddy!!!
