Sounds like we're a bunch of sissies. Peter is whining about some little ab workout, and my doc tells me to suck it up. MRI follow up this morning; negative MRI, save for a little patellar tendonosis. Got a scrip for some anti-inflammatory and instructions to strengthen my legs - no one likes to hear they have chicken legs. Also got a joint injection with some feel good drugs! Doc says I have to rest, so good thing I got in some workouts before.
I did a 60 minute BodyPump class last night, which left me completely sore (it's been a while since I lifted), and then followed up this morning with a short, easy bike. 18 miles, keeping heart rate below 150, focusing on maintaining cadence (target 90 rpm) and pedal mechanics in the aero position.
I think we've got a lot of growing up to do. And you speak of aero position. Have you acquired some other means of biking transportation other than your mountain bike?
ReplyDeleteSure did. I've borrowed a bike from a friend. It's an aluminum Specialized bike with clip on aero bars. I'll send a pic...
