Splash!

I finally jumped back into the pool. My son had swimming lessons today for 30 minutes, so I put my swimsuit on too and hopped in the lane pool for some lengths. I think I managed 28 lengths (700m) in my available time. I could have done a few more, but we were a few minutes late, and I talked to my lane-mate about her goggles.

Since my current 750m PR is 25:45, that's not too bad. I'll have to do a time trial next week.

120-25=95 minutes to go this week...

Reviewing Goals - January

I promised I would review my goals on Feb. 1. Better late than never...

180 minutes isn't happening. I manage 100 easily (I'm shocked!). So for February, I'm going to aim for 120, with the intention of increasing this each month. I have a few days coming up where I won't be able to go on my usual kid-free Tues/Thurs time slot. This means scheduling babysitting in advance.

The fruit and veggies goal... I'm not even remembering it. So for February, I'm putting it on my fridge, and working on better meal planning.

So I've been fairly consistent about heading to the gym regularly. I have done NO swimming, and no cycling (not even the stationary bikes). There's no reason I can't haul my bike inside onto a wind trainer. I haven't done any running. Maybe I should slide a bit into my walking...

Last week's workouts

Oops. Forgot to blog last week!

Thursday, I did the usual 10 minute warm-up on the treadmill, 2000m on the rowing machine, followed by weights.

That counts as 10 + 10x2 + 45/2 = 53 (rounding up)

Total for the week: 180 - 64 - 53 = 63 left

January Challenge complete

I contributed a mere 7562m to the Team Canada virtual team for the Concept2 January Virtual Challenge. The team total is an amazing 38,633,993m rowed. There are a total of 301 team members.
