I got in bed last night and realized I had not posted anything for yesterday. I rode my bike on the Bicentennial Trail for 50 minutes. My route is from our house up to Celery Flats and back. Yesterday was the 3rd or 4th time I've done it. It had taken me an hour. Yesterday I pushed a little harder and cut off 10 minutes. I'm definitely feeling it in my thighs (not sure what muscles those are). My upper knees have been a little sore, too.
This morning I jogged for 25 minutes straight and then walked for about 8 more. I didn't feel like jogging, but I haven't done it in a while and thought I'd better keep those muscles in shape. I took a timer with me so I could keep track of my progress. I find I need any motivational device I can come up with. It did help me challenge myself to "go 1 more minute" or "1 more block".
Of course, I feel great after I exercise. And the weather has been SO nice it makes me want to be outside.

Of course you feel better after exercise! I need to get off this computer and get to the pool. Be careful. If your knee hurts you may be overdoing it and will end up quitting:-)
ReplyDeleteThis encourages me, as well. I need to read it everyday and then get out there and do something! Why are you exercising anyway??? ~Elaine
