Working up a Sweat

Abs Class - 15 Minutes
Exercise Bike - 20 Minutes
1.04 Miles Easy - 8:23 - 8:01 Pace

Another beautiful day in Grand Rapids today. Got a really good sweat going during abs and biking. Abs was tough because the woman running it was not doing the exercises with us for some reason, but that made her cadence really fast. so we were pumping through them quickly. Then on the bike I started at about 80 RPM, and ended at about 115 RPM....good sweat.

I think the fast biking may have been why I had a little pain in my right knee, right in the last place I want to feel it as I started my run. It went away about half way into the mile, but something to pay attention to, keep my speeds down on the bike, and see how it goes.

Other than that, running is going well.

Need to retrain myself with pacing

Abs Class - 15 Minutes
Exercise Bike - 20 Minutes
1.01 Miles Easy - 7:50 - 7:44 Pace

Abs felt good, biking felt good, running felt great. However, I was visited by an old friends of mine, that guy that just takes off and runs as fast as he can, not worrying about what pace I should be running. Yeah, so 7:44 was probably a little quick for my pace at this stage in my comeback, still, I did feel good. It just reminded me of how hard it was to curb my natural instinct to get the runs over with as quickly as I could. Shouldn't take me a year this time to relearn pacing, I am, in fact, a little more knowledgeable of a runner than I was back then.

Oh yeah, and have I mentioned, I am out of shape :-)

Oops, Forgot My Watch

10 Laps around soccer field
60 Minutes exercise bike

Forgot my watch today so I have no idea how far or how long I ran, but I still feel good. My knee did ache a bit after an hour on the bike, actually both did, but I think that is just from inactivity. I'll go a little easier on the bike tomorrow, and bring my watch.

Biking

Upright Bike - 30 Minutes

Decided to take a shot at the upright bike today and see how it felt. I was clipping along at a pretty good pace, felt ok, worked up a great sweat. We will see how my knee feels in the morning.
