I won't lie to you. Prior to this week, I had been extremely anxious about undertaking this training program. I wondered what I was about to get myself into. I doubted my ability to stick with the program. I was afraid that I would fail.
But with the first week of training completed, I feel a whole new wave of confidence.
Aside from two swim workouts, I have made every other workout last week. I have found myself looking forward to the next workout. I was truly bummed out when the swim workout I was going to attend on Saturday was rained out.
I recently purchased the complete Sufferfest cycling DVDs (the name says it all). I have really enjoyed these training videos during long trainer rides like the 3 hour ride I did on Sunday. Typically, you hop on the trainer for a zone 2 (40-60% effort) ride and watch a good action movie. But I found that a movie isn't enough to distract me from the sheer boredom. So, I ended up watching a Sufferfest DVD for the first and last hours of my ride, sandwiching an hour of Star Wars.
This coming week, I am looking forward to the 4th of July 5K in Sugar Land.
