Well, it seems I have not done a very good job keeping everyone informed on my training! After my first run at home, I played some softball! That's right, back at it twice a week (when it doesn't rain like crazy) and still going strong! I played on April 16th and 18th and then started out the next week with a great swim! I am now in training mode for the October 12th Triathlon. My swim was not too bad, I went 500 yards with a pace of 1:51 per 100 yards. Not too bad considering I had not swam but once since last October!
Then on April 24th, I ran on the treadmill at work. I went 2 miles in 18:40, which was a pretty good run! Then I did some strength training including:
2 sets of 8 of the following:
Push ups
Squats with a 10 lb weight
Shoulder press ups with a 5 lb weight
Should side raises with a 5 lb weight
Tricept kick backs
I ended the month of April with a warm up 2.62 trial tribute run, practicing for the May 2nd run. All proceeds went to benefit the Boston bombing victims. I did ok, my run was a bit on the slow side. Sometimes, we have off days...and this was my off day! I ran 2.62 miles in 26:05. You can view my route here. I was slightly upset since I had been doing shorter runs so much faster than this one. But, at least I got up and ran!
I hope to do a better job at posting my progress! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
April
