Being a little rusty (me not the weights) I reverted back to some lightweight exercises to improve my form and try and stay injury free whilst also trying to make it beneficial for my return to the pool. I never really feel I'm getting anywhere with light lifting but I stuck to it and remained injury free - I also ached the day after so it can't have been too bad!
Whilst having the week off from exercise it was Amy's birthday over the weekend too, sadly I couldn't participate in the ice skating but I did make up for it a Pizza Hut later on and with the cake too!! I now definitely need to get back to some exercising if not for the upcoming events but to get shut of pizza and chocolate cake <insert sound of Homer Simpson drooling!>
A rare Monday off today so a little jaunt on the bike to town and back resulting in a stiff knee upon return despite taking it super easy (see the numbers below). Maybe a couple of light swims this week before returning to the running and even then it will be light and short all the while maintaining a regime of glute and hip strengthening to hopefully sort this out!
In other news the new steed arrived this week and is marvellous - just need the weather and knee to be right to give it a go!!
