How much is too much

Doing an hour and a half of hot yoga right after an intense one hour spin class is too much for the average Saturday. I did that this morning and then had to have a nap this afternoon. I also planned a big swim for later in the day but bailed half way through it this afternoon when Darcy and Sean headed for the hot tub. I hadnt seen them in a while and decided to have a visit with them.

Yesterday I did hot yoga; Thursday past I swam at lunch time and taught spinning in the evening. Tomorrow I plan to go for an easy 12-13 k run with some other triathletes. I get to San Fransisco Monday afternoon. I plan to do some running there and maybe some swimming and hot yoga.

cranky

Yesterday I was so cranky for no good reason. It seemed like the extra holiday through me off a bit. I swam at 7 am and was cranky; was cranky at work; taught a spin class and was cranky till about half way through the class when I started to get over it (the power of exercise) I purchased an "intermediate" half ironman training program yesterday off the internet and it seems ridiculously hard. But, I will use it as a guide. Like the ironman training program that I used, it has way more swimming than I need. It has swims of 4000 m which seems a bit much for a 2000m race. It has alot of long brick training as well (2-3 hour bike rides followed by an hour run) If I was following it, this would be week one of 16 weeks. I think I will start following it at about week 3 when I return from San Fransisco.

Getting ready to go on vacation again.

I am going to San Fransisco a week from today and looking forward to it. I plan to do some running when I am there and some hot yoga. After that. when I get home, I am going to start a training program for Mooseman Triathlon in June.

I have been talking alot on here about how much I like yoga and I still feel that way. I have really been working at getting more flexible and it is helping. I am gaining flexibility in my back. (I didnt really know I was that inflexible in my back but I was.) Since my last post, I did yoga last wednesday and friday and then again today, Monday. I swam last Thursday and taught a spin class on Thursday. On Saturday, I did spin again and worked out for an hour afterwards doing core exercises. Sunday, I ran about 13 k and felt great. Today, Monday I ran on a treadmill for 4 miles and was running at 8 miles per hour which is fast for me. I cant help but think that increased flexibility is helping.
Tomorrow is swimming in the am and spinning in the afternoon.
