Tuesday- Swim laps AM walking in the evening
Wednesday - Bike Commute and weights
Thursday- Swim laps AM Walking at lunch

Do you think it would hurt if I tacked a short run on my bike commute days before I lift? Like a 15 to 20 minute run?

Hi Everyone I am not sure if anyone is still interested in this thread or not. I a posting it but I have no idea what my work out will be this week. I just know a lot of walking and wed a swim I hope.
I did my first half ironman and it was tough on sunday. Hottest day ever. I don't think it got as hot as it was all summer. I had to walk the run part which upset me because I am a runner but could not get my legs. I came home with heat stroke. still can not eat but I finished it and yes i would do it again. Hope everyone has a happy week of training
Oh great!!! You are too good in it. It is a exercise which is good for health. keep up..
Consider a subscription to something like Daily Burn - fairly reasonable around $10 a month. You can tune in via the internet any time you want. There are also some amazing exercise classes and channels on YouTube. I don't know where you are starting, weight-wise, but you should be cleared by your team (absent any other medical issues) for full exercise by about 3 weeks out. I was doing an hour on a recumbent bike (slowly, but doing) five days after surgery and was cleared to swim after 2 weeks. (Just waiting for incisions to heal.) Most aerobics are OK at the start - its lifting things you need to be careful of, including your kids.
Do any of the gyms near you offer childcare programs? Our YMCA has a great childwatch room - you can use for up to 3 hours a day when you are a member and on the premises - which is plenty of time to do a class and take a shower uninterrupted! (Again, not sure how old your littles are, but I remember craving a shower in peace.)

I was in the gym until the day before surgery. My surgery was on Tuesday, I didn't work out Monday because I was at the office and had stuff I needed to deal with at home Monday evening, so I didn't have time. I was back in the gym doing cardio on a recumbent bike on Saturday.
Best of luck.
