 12 |  Subject: Got to start somewhereOK, I found the site last night and have pledged to run at least a sprint distance before my 46 birthday (August). Bill Phillips (Fit for Life) says the most important thing we can do to help ourselves succeed is planning our workouts. So I spent an hour or so tonight making a workout chart similar to the ones in his book and a workout calendar for the month of January 04. Then I filled in the days back to tomorrow. I'm going to use the calendar to track what I should be doing each day. If I miss a day, due to overtime or illness, I will simply skip it on the calendar and go to the next scheduled workout. I have to start somewhere and postponing it until "after the hlidays" just makes it easier to find a reason not to start later. Anybody who wants to review/critique the charts is welcome to do so. You will need Corel WordPerfect to do so. |

Expert 713 Rockledge, Fl | Subject: RE: Got to start somewhere Welcome Mike! Have you done any challenges? I did 2 this year and will be doing my thirs Jan 5 but change training for my tri training. If you love to plan, the Tri training bible has a plan for mapping out year of periodic training and how to create your weekly workouts. This site also has some training programs that could help you setup your program. |

Regular 83 Springfield, Ohio | Subject: RE: Got to start somewhere Yeah, starting is the hardest. Continuing is the second hardest. I'm restarting after a 3 month layoff. Soooo, I should be in really great shape after letting my body rest up. Those extra pounds I put on over the holidays (10) will give me that much more energy stores, right? Seriously though, sounds like you have a good plan. I'm coming back in gradually with light weights and walking and will build up to running in Jan |
