So I woke up this morning and went to get out of bed.... I found myself grunting and groaning my way to the bathroom and even waddling! My butt and my hips are totally sore this morning! My legs are not on full range of motion as yet either...
Despite all of this I am going to the gym for my turbo kick class and then hitting the hot tub! I suppose the stiffness and soreness will hold me back a bit during turbo kick, but I promised myself I was starting my new fitness regimen today and by golly I'm going to do it!
Aside from that, I still have about 18 more biking miles for leg #2 and around the distance of a 5k to do on the treadmill or elsewise for the final leg of a biathlon challenge I am doing. It's a lazy man's biathlon, but it's no cake walk! I participated in a Lazy Man Triathlon back in July/August and that one was tough as well..... Here's the skinny on the Lazy Man challenges....
Lazy Man Triathlon:
Running - 26.2 Miles
Biking - 112 Miles
Swimming - 3.1 Miles
BUT! You have five weeks to finish this one, and there are plenty of substitutions for each portion of the total race.
Lazy Man Duathlon (Biathlon really)
Leg #1 - 5k Run (3.1 Miles)
Leg #2 - 93.2 Miles Biking
Leg #3 - 18.6 Mile Run
BUT! You have an entire month to complete this one and just like the tri, there are substitutions for the various exercises.
I love challenging myself and one of these days I'm going to do a sprint distance triathlon for real! I did one of my own design once and managed to finish it in a little over an hour total.... Not bad really.... But anyway.. I need to go get my but in gear for the workout stuff today!
