I didn’t make my 2008 goal of exercising three times a week (I fell short six weeks), so I’m going to try again in 2009. That maps to just under 900 miles:
26 runs @ 4 miles = 104
26 runs @ 8 miles = 208
52 swims @ 1 mile = 52
52 bikes @ 10 miles = 520
Total = 156 workouts, 884 miles.
That’s the minimum. Now, what I’d really like to do is run twice a week, with a long run every other week:
52 runs @ 3mi = 156
26 runs @ 5mi = 130
26 runs @ 13mi = 338
52 bikes @ 10mi = 520
52 swims @ 1mi = 52
Total = 208 workouts, 1196 miles.
But first things first: one of each, every week.
Part of getting this done: I’m going to buy a bike trainer and a road bike. In that order. Given that cycling is low impact, it would be great if I could do it more often. With a trainer, it will be easier to squeeze in workouts between Daddy duties, classes, etc. And once the summer months approach, it’ll be time to go bike shopping.
