Yesterday I finally mustered up the motivation to go to the Y. I had pretty successfully avoided the activity all week, much to my dismay. I managed to stay in my home until late afternoon when, disgusted with my sloth, I grabbed my gym bag.
I have been nursing a pulled muscle in my foot all week, so decided that a bike ride (pending pain tolerance) and a light swim would be good to get me back in the game. I got on a spinning cycle and strapped in (feet actually felt anchored this time, though the tops of my feet got sore from the cages) and just biked on my own, no program. Did a few miles in the drops and a little bit of standing hill resistance, finished off with half an hour of road under my wheels... which the bike calculated at 10.4 miles. Doubtful. But still a good ride.
Did 500m in the pool immediately following. Was feeling a little off kilter, but it still felt good to be in the water. I hope to get someone to look at my form soon. I'd love to know whether I am looking good and what things I can do to improve my form and functionality.
Today I traveled to Florida and was plagued by a pressure headache all day. Spent a lot of time near the pool, but none IN the pool. Looking forward to an outdoor run in the lovely weather tomorrow!
Keep on keep on keep on!
