It's easy if you try

Sunday
Activity: swim
Distance: 1600m
Time: 35min

Monday
Activity: gym - cardio
Time: 30min

Yep, that's a 1600 up there. One mile. A case of putting my head down, chugging along & not daydreaming. I also suspect that decent nutrition is playing a part - the last two weeks I've actually eaten both breakfast & lunch on Sundays before going for a swim. It seems to be making a difference.

However I decided to sleep in this morning, so I chucked some clothes & a towel in the car, planning to go to the gym after work. I very nearly caved & went straight home, but was saved from that indignity by the fact that turning right out of the carpark at work is kinda tough, whereas if I go left & go to the gym, things are much easier. See, being lazy does work. Sometimes.

Plan is for another gym session tomorrow. We'll see whether it's a pre-work or post-work workout.

Nearly there

So, I've cycled two days this week, can I make it to my semi-goal of 3? I'll report back tomorrow. Also had the first day back at the climbing gym - not too bad. Attempted 4, completed 2, got 2/3 of the way up the other 2 & probably would have completed the final one, but C came over all dizzy while belaying & P had to take over, while I hung off the wall. The arms were a bit tired after that & I missed a few holds. Oh well, next time.

Surprising myself

Sunday
Activity: swim
Distance: 1500m

Don't know how long it took me, but 1500m after not getting in the pool for 2 weeks and having Christmas? That's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

I also managed to bike to work on Monday. Yet to see if I keep it up for the goal of 3 days this week :) Best intentions though.
