Training

I've got the triathlon bug and can't wait for the season to begin! In the mean time, because this winter seems to have been particularly cold and windy, I have been doing alot of indoor training. I swim 2 mornings a week at the pool at work. Those mornings I have to wake up at 5:00 to get going and arrive at the pool at 6:00 when it opens. Luckily there are showers there for after the swim to just clean up, get dressed and get to work. The other 3 mornings a week, I try to make it to the 6:30 am class at my gym - Fusion. If I haven't mentioned Fusion before, it's what you might call a "boutique" gym that focuses on cross-training workouts. Along with the swimming, I have noticed some great changes in my overall stamina, endurance and strength. The interval workouts are making a huge difference in my distance running for sure. I'm looking forward to continuing on this "roll" for the rest of the winter . . . and then getting back outside for running and biking as soon as it warms up! This cold weather stinks!!
