2015 Exercise Log/Challenge

[Catrin]

Back to training this morning. My coach wouldn't allow me to do any competition work, he had me to more general KB fitness work instead and closely monitored my selection of KB weight. No pain or real discomfort so that was good. I am considering just taking a full rest for Christmas week, or limiting it to things that don't require arms. Ok, so I am not allowed to do THOSE things, but I CAN go walking so hopefully the weather will permit. I will see how things go next week and what my Chiro has to say when I see him Tuesday.

I stuck to my word and took a very short ride today. It was 38 degrees, mostly sunny, with a bit of a wind, not too much. This ride includes a downhill to start,then a mile climb, some flat/rolling, before I get back to my neighborhood, where I climb again for 3/4 of a mile. It's only 8.5 miles, but I was out there for about 45 minutes, because I also rode around my driveway, testing stuff! First I was cold, then I was overdressed. But, I feel really good now... tomorrow will be about 25 miles.

Sounds fun Crankin!

Started the day out with my weekly long indoor row - "paddled" for just over 12,000 meters in just at 70 minutes. Not very fast compared with others, but a PR for me I've an eventual first goal of rowing 1 million meters, and I am approaching a 10th of the distance :-) I've no goal as to a target date, I know better than that I WILL admit that an audio-book makes this much easier.

Well, I didn't get quite to 20 miles, as I needed to be back to meet the person coming to look at my old bike.. but a glorious ride in good temperatures. About an hour and 15 minutes of ride time, 18.5 miles.

Boot camp yesterday. Thought I would ride to work today, but it's not quite as warm as I thought and they were saying there could be black ice this morning. I did a half hour of yoga this morning at home. Tomorrow is my bike group's annual Chanukah party; there is a choice of a 4 mile hike or 37 mile ride before the party. Right now, there is rain predicted through just about the time the ride will start, but it's going up to 50. Not sure what I'll do. They may cancel the ride. Last year I did the hike, which I think would not be so pleasant if it has rained all night, as I remember it being kind of icy/rocky in places.

I just found this thread and added my row. I am confused though - I thought it is for a 4 month goal but everyone else has it set at 3 months (not that it matters, I'm just curious). We are only counting cycling hours right?
