Officially the program begins...unofficially it started last Friday.


I officially started my "Mark Allen" coached program today. I had an 1 1/2 hour bike, watching TV and catching up on my reading, and then a weight training session. I'm surprised how good I'm feeling after the workouts, considering I had a full weekend of training.

I did my weights at the Flamborough YMCA. I wanted to check out the pool as they have 90 minute lap swims each evening, which would mean I could do my long swim in the evenings and not have to do them in the early mornings.

I'm just not a morning person. I like working out after 6:30 pm.

The weight training was interesting. The programs is to do 1 set of 12, which I thought would be easy. The only catch was that I was to take 2 seconds to lift and 4 seconds to return the weight. It was a lot harder than I thought and I got a really good pump.

Day one...check...completed.
