What a day ! I woke up this morning to meet my wonderful trainer Terrance. We did a grueling workout in the pool. This was the first time that I have run in water - it is quite an experience and very grueling. We interspersed 10 laps (20 lengths) of running and swimming with push ups and planks - did this routine three times. It is so interesting how heavy ones' body feels when you hoist it out of the pool. I felt like I was carrying a huge piece of lead on me when doing my push ups. I Hope to get to a mile soon; which will be to do this routine four times.
In the evening I went to the Team in Training information session. I got there at 6:30 - there were about 50 people - most of whom were doing this kind of thing for the first time. The program consists of raising money and in exchange getting a group of people who are training with you and a coach who would train you all for the big race day. They seemed to have their stuff together - so I signed up; which means that I have to raise $2,700 by June 1, 2010. I figure 27 people need to give me $100 each - how tough can that be ? I say this now - we will see in time how giving people really are. The training starts end of Feb and will consist of group runs, bikes & swims three times a week; as well as clinics that will help you with technique. I look forward to starting !
