  • Friday, Aug. 23rd:

    Still trying to rest my inner right arm, so no back & biceps lifting today.
    60 minutes StairMaster. This killed me. I started out at resistance of nine, hands-free, which I managed for 30 minutes. Then 10 more minutes with my hands on the rails. Then for the last 20 minutes, dropped it to eight and held the rails unashamedly, with two half-minute breaks.
  • Thursday August 22nd: 45 minutes weight lifting
  • 9.3k steps. About two hours breaking up old fencing panels.
  • August 23: 3.3 miles walking
    30 minutes foam rolling
    60 minutes ypga DVD

    My Achilles was TRASHED today. So discouraged!
  • Saturday, Aug 24th:

    60 minute spin class, during which I ignored the weight-lifting intervals to rest my arm, and just peddled with high resistance
    60 minute Pilates mat class, messing around with hard foam blocks in various ways
  • Saturday - 9.3k steps
  • August 24: 60 minutes weight lifting (lats and delts)
    3.17 mile walk with DH and dogs
    30 minutes foam rolling

  • Sunday, Aug. 25th:

    45 minute spin class, challenging myself more than usual
    Squats on the smith machine, adductor machine, hamstring curls

    Feeling very much at a loss without my lifting routine. I should feel freed up, with more time available to me, but instead I feel weaker and more impotent. I think my arm feels a little better, but not as well as I'd hoped.
  • Sunday - 11.4k steps which is almost 4.5 miles. Just being chez mamma is a very busy business. It's quite hard work.
