Sometimes I wonder why I started so late to really get serious about fitness. Wouldn't it have been better to become this dedicated to it at a time of my life when I would only need to ice my knees if there was actually an injury? Now, at age 41, I ice them as a precaution! :)
I am glad that we work in a world where our desks are contained within our cubicles and not open to the world. That way, no one can see the legs of my jeans pulled up over my knee and the Ziplock bag of ice ace-bandaged to said knee. Thus, I can suffer the ravages of middle-age in quiet privacy...
Today, I did roughly 1/3 of the distances I need to do to for a sprint triathlon, although I did it backwards LOL. At my gym, it makes more logistical sense to do the treadmill and bicycle first, and then the swimming just prior to getting ready for work. Still, I power-walked for a mile, biked for 4.5 miles, and then swam 300 meters. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that it doesn't feel like I'm doing that much, but then I realized this morning that it was 1/3 of my triathlon, and I realized I am making progress.
Of course, I'd really rather run the mile on the treadmill, but I'm approaching that with caution to take care of those knees.. :(
I'm looking forward to advancing to the next stage of my fitness regimens. It's time to kick it up a notch and really shed these pounds that have been holding me back!
