IMKY13 finish!!
Do you think that strength/weight training once a week is good? I'd really like to be able to do it twice a week, but with schedule (training, work, family, life)...it looks like I can just manage one strength training work-out a week. What does everyone think?
Fitness/weight goals for 2014
1) STAY INJURY FREE!!!
2) Get to 189 lbs by the end of July 2014...and stay there (as of 4-25-14 was at 203 lbs)

Swim: 100 miles
Bike: 3,000 miles

One time is better than no times per week, I would say.
I would also venture that a good core/stretch routine would be more benefit than a dedicated weight session, but I guess it depends on the weight exercises chosen. The core work doesn't need a trip to a gym, and can be fitted into an odd half hour 2 or 3 times a week potentially more easily than one involved 'workout'?

True....if I can just set my alarm & get up like 5 minutes earlier every day, I think I could get some good core work done (planks & sit-ups)
