As a bonus this month, I get three weeks with the kids in swim lessons twice a week. I managed to schedule said swim lessons at exactly the same time as each other, during a lane swim time. Yay for me! This means some extra pool time. I've been very happy with my swimming progress of late, and a short block with a swim focus can do nothing but help.
Although my half-iron plan doesn't officially start until March, I want to get into the routine of doing same number of training sessions. I figure it will help me decide if it's maintainable, so I can tweak it if need be. It will also get me used to juggling it. There's always going to be some flexibility required when unexpected events happen. I have to make sure that I can follow the plan as it is under normal circumstances though.
That's great time management!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to look at the first couple weeks of the plan and build up to that volume too if you aren't already there.
This IS the week to get back on schedule again...so why do I feel SOOOO resistant to it!? I love to see how others manage their time and fit it all in. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt can be hard to start doing every thing again at once. I think you're being very smart in building the routine first, then work on the volume.
ReplyDeleteBeing a mom usually means getting creative with our time. Way to go on the swim lessons! Maybe I need to sign my kids up for some to ensure I get in more pool time! LOL Love all the pics. Way to go sticking with that resolution!
ReplyDeleteTime management and parenting is a special skill, especially when training. I do something similar. Although my long bike day is on Sunday, I also take my son to the YMCA pool in the afternoon. We swim laps so I get another short block too.
ReplyDeleteKeep on swimming, keep on swimming... isn;t that from "Finding Nemo"? No, I am not calling you Nemo!
