January 6th, Saturday
Today I spent 90 minutes at the clubhouse in the exercise room and the pool doing a large variety of exercises and activities. My decision to train for the next 8 months for a triathlon has been quite liberating. I can swim and ride the bike and do weight lifting for 2 or 3 days in a row without feeling guilty that I have not run. This allows my tender feet to stay healthy and avoid injuries. For the last two days I have felt no pain in my left foot which is quite encouraging. I was tempted to run on the treadmill today for a mile just to keep my running as part of my training but I resisted that urge and did a whole bunch of other stuff. That includes riding the bike for 35 minutes walking on the treadmill for 5 minutes, working on the elliptical machine for 10 minutes, swimming for 10 minutes and running in the water for 10 minutes with weight lifting interspersed between these activities. I then spent 15 minutes in a hot tub with a great deal of stretching my lower legs and feet. All in all I would call it a very positive training day.
