Although it doesn't seem to bother me while I cycle, my left calf STILL hasn't fully recovered after straining it last week. For this reason, I'm not going to run this week so that I don't risk any further problems leading into the L'Etape this weekend. I hope it heals fully soon.
I worked my chest out today and rather than start out with weights, I did 3 sets of push ups instead. I've been dealing with problems with my wrists ever since I crashed a few weeks ago, and they, too, don't seem to have recovered in full. I think this is what happens when one gets old. Sigh. I was able to get 5 exercises for chest nonetheless, and I also did my lower back and abs. For my ab workout, I did crunches on the machine. When I went to pick up my water bottle from the floor, my upper abs locked up fully (i.e. cramped) and would not unlock for almost 5 minutes. It hurt!
For lunch training, I wanted to ride my bike today but it is so drizzly this morning that I may just jump on a spin bike. If I do jump on the spin bike, I'll keep working on my off the seat riding since I plan on utilizing this more for this weekend's ride.
