I am in the beginning stages of switching over to a twice a day regime. I have pretty well converted my walks from epic to normal, and the plan is to stay that way. Now I am adding three times a week swim, and in the next few days it will be joining a gym.
My goal is to head into a 16 week cycle where I will:
3 days a week short beach-walk + swim
3 days a week short beach-walk + gym
1 day a week freestyle; could be a long beach-walk or f* it and go to a movie. Whatever I feel like.
I have some pretty specific goals in mind, and just to be contrarian about it, I won't really know what they are until I get there. What I mean is, I see one of two potential outcomes happening, one is preferred, but I don't know yet which one is physically possible. But what I don't want to do is end up injured in someway. So, progress will have to be judged somewhat on the fly.
Then I take the month of January off from the gym, (to avoid the resolutioners), and assess how well I can maintain those gains in my home setting. At that point I can push plans further out based on outcome.
That's the game plan anyway. For today I did 3 miles on the beach and washed my car a lot, probably about three times. 2500+ miles of baked on bugs took a while to scrape off. Then, just because I had everything out I did a broom scrub-down on my front porch, steps, and sidewalk. All of that should count for a little something.
