First official day of training

Technically yesterday marked the start of Ironman, however it ended up being an off day.  Why not ease into training.  So the next 6 days consist of structured workouts (Doing Don Fink's competitive program).  Today was a 30 minute run on the treadmill while keeping my heart rate in zone 2.  This focusing on the base building and working out in primarily zone 2 could end up being quite frustrating!  After that I ran back to work to finish out the day.  Fast forward a few hours and I'm back at the gym getting ready to hop back in the pool.  Shockingly, I didn't really miss the pool all that much.  Afterwards, it did feel great to get a swim in.  It's crazy how good I feel physically after a few laps in the pool, yet how much I dread it mentally.  Oh well, I'm going to have to find a way to get mighty comfortable with the pool over the next 30 weeks.  Or I could skip it and just drown during the race...I think I'll find a way to get some quality swims in.  I'm actually looking forward to signing up for a Masters swim class.  Back to training, means limited free time...that said, I'm going to bed.
