2015 Exercise Log/Challenge

I did a 45 minute session on the trainer; speed drills at a high cadence in an easy gear and then did some stretching for 15 minutes. The snow has died down, but still going. I didn't volunteer to help DH with the snow blowing; usually I will shovel around the edge of the driveway, where he can't get to. My upper body is just feeling better from skiing! We will have more celan up to do later, so I may go outside for that. Tomorrow will be snow shoeing, and I plan to go to the local x country center after work on Thursday.

It has been nice and warm here in CO so yesterday I went for an hour long walk then did about 20 min of core work on my therapy ball and Bosu ball. Today I did a short 30 min walk then did 6 30 second sprints then a 10 min jog back home. I may do some weights later tonight

This morning I did a short warm up on the TM, all my PT stretches, and then the functional training DVD from my Cycle-Core training program, followed by the flexibility portion of the program, for about 35 minutes. After lunch, I went snow shoeing with my friend, at some conservation land in Acton. THe snow was deep and it was slow going on the way out, although there was some sort of path from others who had walked there. It was hard to read the trail markers, so we did an out and back, walking to a pond and back to the start. It was a half a mile walk to the trail from her house and back, but I have no idea how far we snow shoed on the trail. I do know it was about an hour and a half. My friend is slower than me, but the deepness of the snow added some challenge, and I led on the way back. It was beautiful and fun.

Last night I had a good workout with my usual group. I felt claustrophobic however. The space where we train is quite small, and there were two other groups in there as well. I am afraid that I gave the evil eye to a few who could have done what they were doing on the next floor up. I need to adjust to it however and just keep repeating my mantra that spring is coming, spring is coming and we get our space back...Giving the evil eye isn't going to help...sigh.

Spring is coming! Spring is coming!!! ) Not here! From what I heard it will be a very cold February. argggg.

Just completed a muscle workout with hubby. We had fun. Tomorrow I have a cycling session. Don't know what my PT prepared. Will see it tonight. I said to her if she did not have the time, I will race against hubby. Should be interesting as I am not fast (on trainer we'll be) and not as strong as him, especially starting back.

But oh!!! JOY!!!! Monday night dit my training and I was able to push over 200watts (a minute as hard as I could) and a minute to recup. Just last week I could not even nail 160watts without wanting to die. Just to say some days we are feeling better than others.

So hang in there! Spring is coming and we'll be sweating outside, and the war between vehicules and road bike will start all over again. hihi

Catrin, I am also one to give the evil eye. I call it the "teacher look." It generally stops people cold, and I had many years of practice!

Well I did not do my lower body workout last night so I did it today. My legs have been pretty tired lately. I was looing back on my exercise log and realized that I have not had a day off in close to 2 months. Maybe it is time. I am just stubborn. Spring is on the way!
