I am switching to some base/build workouts, especially for the bike. I had a stressful morning so I only go my lifting in. I got out of work early and hit the bike. I used my road bike, hoping that I could put some COMFORTABLE miles in on that without my head falling off. I moved the seat up and that felt pretty good. I went on all my favorite routes in one ride (I don't get too creative on picking new routes--and I don't need too). Around the golf course, to the base of Harry's hill, over to Goosenest, down Utah ave in Payson, out to Benjamin and back up by the new ball parks.
I averaged 157 beats per min at 18.4 mph. I was surprized my heart rate was as high as it was with trying to go easy. It could have been the fact it was hotter than blaze outside (4-6 PM). I limped home on tired legs, but healthy legs. That was great my knees felt good and my neck does not feel too tired. It is nice to enjoy a bike ride again. |
