Last Sunday and Monday we had our first good rain of the season, totaling over 2″. There were lingering showers on Tuesday, but I managed to sneak in a leisurely 30 minute drive. Later in the day I did a short upright ride. I also did a hard upper body workout that day which felt good. I do a lot of back and hip PT as part of those workouts, I want to strengthen all the stabilizing muscles so I’m less likely to have a sciatica attack.
Yesterday was sunny and clear and I went for a 70 minute cruise lying down followed by 50 minutes upright. I put in 8 intervals of brisk riding while standing. This is a good way to get your heart rate up without putting too much strain on the glutes, as they are still a little sore from my recent adventures.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
