06.25.2019 Top O'The Tuesday to You

Ow! That sounds like what we used to (in high school swimming)--call an NDE "near death experience" workout). Don't think I could keep that up either for so many repeats. Big gear/low cadence is another kind of intensity. Suspect my coach will have me doing more of it as bike strength/power has always been my weakness.

Trainer ride here (61 minutes) but not nearly as intense--3 X 7 minutes at about 85-90%. I'm going to go back to working with my coach again in July and will see how that goes. Mostly maintenance stuff--focusing on building bike power, building up for a half-marathon in September (really more of an excuse to do long runs than anything else--I like to do them and Mom likes to follow on the bike), trying to get back to swimming as I can. I think that especially with a new job starting in late August, working with a coach will add enough accountability to keep me consistent. At times in my life I've gotten so caught up in work that not just fitness but (in my view) physical and mental heath have suffered.

Plus another very painful PT session. I was actually screaming. Not sure why but some of the passive ROM feels a lot worse than the initial injury. I had to do some driving around town before PT this morning so maybe everything got tighter than usual. Ugh.
