Training Basics

So I've written a couple "deeper" internal posts, so now let's get back to basics.

Training.....
I upped myself to 7 hrs for the past 2 weeks, primarily in zone 2 per Brett's instructions and my own motivation.

Got an email from Tam this week that she's going to be training me now and she put some workouts on Training Peaks for me.  Whoa.  Big change.  Not better or worse- but clearly I'm moving into intervals/hills/etc now.  

I'll still follow the same schedule in my week b/c I don't have a lot of flexibility.  So here you go:
Mon: elliptical at home in am and 30 min swim at lunch
Tues: bootcamp class- great instructor, who I always think about on Wed when my muscle soreness sets in
Wed: run/swim/bike at the gym for an hour or so.  I have the most flexibility on this day since I don't work in the am
Thurs: day off
Fri: time at the gym for an hour
Sat: 90-min spin class
Sun: day off (at least for another 3 weeks til ski lessons are done)

Even though Tam gave me workouts for this weekend, I'm sticking w/ my schedule b/c I don't have any wiggle room in my schedule and I need a day off.  Although it did feel good to get up into zone 3 during the spin class.

Moving forward I'll start getting outside a bit more and I'll need to plan things out a little.  It's easier when I stay in my established routine, but clearly this is not about easy.  It's about getting stronger and being ready for this summer.  here we go.....
