the plan for jan - 39 weeks to the race

In the spirit of using this year to learn and grow I need to come face to face with my tendency to go overboard, overtrain, and then get hurt.

What I have been doing is averaging three hours at the boxing gym a week for just over a month now.

I am going to stick with that on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday for right now. It is super fun, recreational fitness. It is low impact and works more on my upper body.

I have tons of time to get there (the starting line) from here. And I have an intermediate goal of wanting to ride in Little Red.

With ALL of that in mind, here is the plan for Jan:

• Monday, Wednesday, Saturday: boxing gym
• Tuesday and Thursday: interval training workout (bike once, treadmill once)
• Sunday: optional walk and coffee with Jen/rest
• Friday: mandatory rest

A final note, as much as I want to start jogging, I am going to force myself NOT to for this month. Slow and steady.....
