It was an interesting day. The school where I work had the fire alarm go off at 9 :20 this morning. Temperature was single digits with a windchill at zero. Stood outside leading warm ups and then jogged our entire student population to the middle school on our campus...all 700 plus elementary students. Then when our building was cleared, I stood outside crossing them back down the road to our building for another 20 minutes....no coats for any of us.
So I got 13 miles today with extra running.
TTD: 275.5 miles

Got another 18.5 miles in on the bike tonight. While this is good mileage, every turn of the pedals hurt - don't know what was wrong.... about 5 minutes into it, my calves cramped... ugh. it was the worst bike ride ever. but i won't give up. back to it on Friday! It can only get better from here.
- Are you drinking enough water during the day? If so, another suggestion I would have is doing "calf raises" on any set of stairs as part of your warmup routine before you hop on the bike. (You do* do a little stretching before, right?) For the calf raises, put the fronts of your feet on a step and hang your heels off the edge. Do 15-20 reps, not too fast, and after the last one, let your heels drop down into a good stretch. This will accomplish a couple things...it will strengthen your calves, it will give them a good deep stretch, and it will warm them up for the workout. Do them every day, whether you work out or not.
Thanks for the tips! I think I probably hadn't had enough water through the day. I usually push water hard, but I didn't do as good of a job with it yesterday as usual. And no... I don't really do any stretching before the class. As a class, we do about a 6-10 minute warm up and then we do some upper body stretching, but we don't stretch the lower body until the end of class. I will try these calf raises you have suggested. I am really hopeful that tomorrow's class (same instructor) is a little less horrible! I usually enjoy the class a lot! It's super hard but feels SOOO good at the end of class. You know?!0 -
I don't have any thing more to report for February. My bike got buried under a ton of stuff, been moving a storage room. Didn't want anyone to think I had just quit MYAC.
I will be back for March. Grats to everyone that made it this month, and hope to see y'all for March!0
