BIKE 10 miles in 42 minutes, my first real ride in AA
After lamenting yesterday my lack of training yesterday and
driving myself into a bit of depression over it, I woke up today determined to
make a better day of it. So I did. I got my bike ride – I just picked what
looked like a simple circle with bike lanes. Maple to Liberty to Zeeb to
Jackson to Stadium to Pauline then home. Puppy was on new tires and doing the half
shift shit again. (it never really stopped). My legs were a bit burned on some
of the hills, and my ankle did great except at the very end when the medial
ankle started to burn. Afterwards, I felt no pains or discomfort – just a happy
high.
And I packed up my meals! Six tupperwares for M1/M2, and six
for dinner, and six – nope make that 5 – berries and coconut milk dessert. I
feel organized and ready for my new job tomorrow.
Still no power, still a generator running in the yard, and
still a wet basement. Although the basement is much better.
Oh, and I’m goaling for 10K steps a day – Day 1 today!
And I’m goaling for 1 hour of something a day – today a 42
min bike ride, 2 min planks, and 16 mins of PT exercises and stretching. Day 1!
I didn't get much done in the basement - there's not much I can do - but I worked in the yard, walked the dog, cleaned a bit, worked on the desk and cleaning. I really want to vacuum, but no power!
No pain or problems on the ride, ignoring my lack of cardiac and muscular fitness. My right calf has a tight, thin, painful something on the lateral side, and my medial inner ankle started to hurt. I so wanted to go more than 10 miles, I thought about doing the loop again. But I didn't have the fitness for it, and the burn in my legs and right ankle was my STOP signal.
Also, I've decided to shoot for MiTi 2023.
