I've done more riding this week than I have done in the last month. Crazy. Or, maybe not so crazy.<BR/><BR/>I'm kinda interested in seeing how all this plays out because I wouldn't normally train this hard and would be taking more days off. We'll have to see what my body says.<BR/><BR/>~RReedsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235713513617918694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-19362349566415056642008-05-14T05:37:00.000-06:002008-05-14T05:37:00.000-06:00Hi Steve,I've been amazed at how well pool work (d...Hi Steve,<BR/><BR/>I've been amazed at how well pool work (doing Yoga warriors in the jacuzzi, then standing Yoga and running laps in the pool) has helped my recovery from Plantar Fasciitis and a herniated disc in my back. <BR/><BR/>I also did doubles with P90X to train for the Catalina 50 mile ultra and it really helped - I liked having the stength. <BR/><BR/>What specific injuries are you recovering from Steve?<BR/><BR/>Beautiful day in LA yesterday - I hit the strand in Manhattan Beach at lunchtime on the blades - great way to break up the day.<BR/><BR/>:) philAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-29492682788657264002008-05-13T10:50:00.000-06:002008-05-13T10:50:00.000-06:00The trainer was friggin' boring but I should be ha...The trainer was friggin' boring but I should be happy to be getting any exercise at all given my schedule here. Have the gym reserved in 10 minutes. Plyo and another session of indoor pedaling. Missing "bike to work" festivities at home.

Then I hopped on the civilized bike and did about an hour easy on it. It was strange being on the bike and wondering about how it was making my arms tired when I was leaning on the bars. Crazy.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow is Plyo and then I am hoping to join the local MTB ride. We'll see how my legs feel for that, because the hippie bike almost always feels harder than the civilized bike.<BR/><BR/>Steve, how was the trainer? Exciting?<BR/><BR/>~RReedsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235713513617918694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-32529240602455971342008-05-12T13:11:00.000-06:002008-05-12T13:11:00.000-06:00Oh, yeah.

Bob and I headed into the mountains and spent some time on the hippie bikes. The trails were great, conditions were perfect and we got to do some fun technical stuff. It's like nirvana.<BR/><BR/>We'll just have to see how my legs do on this virtual giro. I should look at the schedule to see when I have to do what.<BR/><BR/>~RReedsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235713513617918694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-88838137950112688492008-05-11T21:46:00.000-06:002008-05-11T21:46:00.000-06:00Enjoying a Negroni on the rocks, shaken, and catch...Enjoying a Negroni on the rocks, shaken, and catching the late showing of Lebowski.
