Went to my first cycling class this morning at 6am. I thought I'd be safe in going at 6 since my kids sleep in until about 7:30 but my youngest occasionally wakes up around 7. The kids also don't have to leave for the bus until closer to 9 so that leaves me plenty of time to get home and still get everyone ready and off to school. My husband works from home and starts working around 8 which means if for some reason someone woke up it wouldn't be the end of the world if he needed to take care of them for a bit until I got home. However this morning the wee little one decided to wake up at 5:45 just as I was leaving, luckily (or unluckily) my sweet husband hadn't been sleeping so well and was up eating breakfast already. I was 99% sure that my youngest would just take a bottle and go right back to sleep for awhile so I left my husband to it and I went to my class. I guess he was up and pretty unhappy during most of the hour that I was gone and had a pretty bad blow-out diaper and I got a phone call at 7:03 wondering if I was on my way home yet. I'm foreseeing a little bit of resistance to my continuing to attend this class. But we'll see. The class was awesome though. I hadn't been on a bike since I was like 10 years old so it was a bit of a shock to the ol' derriere! Lol! And my legs are definitely not as strong as I thought they were! It was a great cardio workout and fabulous leg workout without being hard on any joints and my knees especially which was great. I'm thinking I'll switch off between a cycling class and swimming once a week. So I'm hereby revising my training schedule to include daily abs and glutes (just because I need to work on those areas - it has nothing to do with training for the marathon) Monday - cycling (am), weights (pm), Tuesday - 3 to 4 mile run, Wednesday - fartlek (am), weights (pm), Thursday - 3 to 4 mile run, Friday - swim, Saturday - Long run, Sunday - rest. That's good right? Even though the official schedule has 2 full days of rest and one day of recovery (aka rest) I'll be resting my joints and not running everyday.
