Too much?

I was going at it great with the two a day thing but after about 2 or 3 weeks I noticed that I needed more rest and I was struggling a little bit more in the afternoons. I think that I have to drop back to a one a dayer.

That means that I will try to do my invented circuit workouts everyother day but I can throw in a leg component which will give me a little bit more time at the gym, keep that heartrate up, and since I won´t be running in the afternoon, it´s okay to burn out the legs.

Swimming is still gotta be the best for the aerobic shit. It´s alternating hard and fast, long distances, different different different. I´ll keep it up. runs are gonig to be changed into either intervals or much lower HR, like 150 max, over a longer distance, see if I can get that timer up to 1:20.

156.4 pounds today: that is about 71.9 kilos... that puts me about 6.4 away from my summer goal.... can I do it?

Am I the only one that reads this?

So, in 25 days, which is 3.5 weeks, my YMOT stats are as follows:
45.8km running
111.9km biking
11.7km swimming
14 hours 45 minutes at the gym
5.4 pounds lighter (about 157 now)

Not enough
Those rest days seem really well deserved. From here on, i´m going to go easy on the bike... it´s a low heart rate exercise and it seems virtually the same everytime. Not to mention it´s uncomfortable...

My plan of action now is to keep swimming because it´s a great all body and heart rate up and down workout, and to keep running. I´d like to be able to run 80 minutes (1 hour 20 minutes) without stopping. If I can do that before I head up to Glasgow I would consider myself in shape for shinty. But, that is still a solid 30 hour more than what I´m doing now, and yesterday I finished a little ragged. Slowly.

I have given myself 45 workout days to meet some goals, and Yesterday I finished one third of them. I´m on the good path...

13th day

so i havne´t written for awhile cause I wanted to leave the pentax pictures up, but i don´t think tha tanyone is interested.....

body is tirrrred today, yesterfday marked day 13 of the 45 double day workouts. today is the beach time with quique!

since the visa got refused back in june, had to get some documents from the parents and all that came in yesterday. is it common knowledge that in the states we write dates like this: mm/dd/yyyy?? we have to rewrite a letter because if the date gets read as dd/mm/yyyy it would invalidate the information on there.... sigh...
