Week 4 of Couch to 5k is coming to a close tonight! Week 4 has me averaging 2.4 miles in 31 minutes, about a 12.40 pace per mile. I will need to drop that to about a 11 minute pace by the Jingle Bell Trot in 2 weeks. My goal is to finish the 5k in under 35 minutes...who am I kidding my goal is to finish the damn thing...period.
Decided to get rid of my Xbox and purchase Ski Equipment. I haven't gone skiing since I was 16, and yes I grew up in Upstate NY, I know that is a little strange. So my goal is to be able to ski in Jackson Hole, Wyoming by March. I figure this will keep me motivated during the sluggish winter months when going to the Gym sucks the most. Thanks to Tommy and John for offering me some help in accomplishing this newest feat.
Jingle Bell 5k..sponsor me...link will be on the right shortly and on Facebook...
Triathlon Training...I have been focusing on core strength building for the past few weeks, so that means bench press, squats and dead lifts. I have watched my max weight increase weekly, the gains in physical strength has been remarkable. For always being a BIG guy, I was very weak. By increasing my strength in my legs,back and chest it has made my cardio workout that much easier. We are 9 months out from the YMCA SPrint Tri...just like having a baby :)
Til next week....
