My "Olympic" Training

While it is true that I have been glued to the TV every evening watching the Olympics, I have also been doing some of my own "Olympic level" training. Here is the last week’s summary of my efforts:

• Two one-hour sessions of deep water running
• Two physical therapy sessions involving running and intense strength training
• Two morning aerobic workouts, each of which involved an elliptical machine and some run/walking on the treadmill
• And the week’s finale—my “long run” (total of 4 hours and 15 minutes):
• 3 x 45 minutes + 1 x 30 minutes on the arc trainer
• 3 x 15 minutes of run/walking on the treadmill
• 1 x 45 minutes on the elliptical machine

As you can see from the above summary, I am slowly but surely starting to run. So now is a great time for you to enter my training mileage and race time contest for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift certificates. Please look at this earlier post for more information on how to enter the contest.
