well, 23 weeks to go, more or less

so this was/is week 1??....
yeah, it's not done yet (is it sunday thru saturday, or monday thru sunday? or does it really matter?)...but so far so good. could have done more, but it's a good start, every thing feels okay, some stuff feels sore, a good sore, and yes, i'm hungry and tired, and just a bit bitchie, but still okay, and u can't ask 4 much more then that. can ya?
i wanna get a good long run in on sunday, and at least spin and do a t-run 2-morrow
that would finish off this week numero 1 nicely. the only thing i really didn't do often enuff was swim...dammit...that's gonna b my Achilles heal for this entired training thing. i can spin in front of my tv or ride from my front door, and i can run rite out the front door as well, but dragging my ass 2 the pool 4 a dip is gonna be a struggle. but if i'm gonna ironman, i've gotta train like and 4 an ironman, so i'll just have to suck it up princess and do it. i managed to swim on tuesday which was awesome. it was only 2500 meters, but a good and strong 2500 meters..and i thought that swim would get my out 4 my next 2 swims, but getting out 2 the pool (kinsmen of course) for 2 more swims was a struggle that i lost.
what woulod really help would be if i had a decent pool nearer to home....fountain park is a sucky 25 meter pool that's only open at weird odd times, and it's schedule isn't mine, coronation/peter hemingway is about the same, and it's a filthy facility, so nah, it's diving into the deep 50 meter pool at the kinsmen or nothin'..i just have to get over the drive....
So the goal for this week 1 was to get my ass in gear, and i sort of did. the goal for next week, is to put it all 2 gether, fit everything in and around the schedules of my wife and kids, just train when i can and have a little less couch time, and more training time.....i see 3 swims, 2 runs and 3 spins..3 t-runs, i want the 2 regular runs to be longer....sunday of course will be long, but i want my midweek run to be a bit beyong 10k...the roads and sidewalks are starting to dry up so that shouldn't be a problem anymore, and hopefully soon the shorts will come out, and we'll be biking on the roads as well......
