Last Sunday and Monday we had our first good rain of the season, totaling over 2 inches. There were some remaining showers on Tuesday but I managed to sneak in an easy 30 minute ride. Later in the day I rode straight away. I also did some heavy exercise that day, which I felt good about. Like these exercises I do a lot of PT for the back and hip area, I want to strengthen all the stabilizing muscles so I'm less likely to have a sciatica flare up.
Yesterday was sunny and clear and I went for a 70 minute cruise on my boat, then 50 minutes in the sun. I threw in 8 fast riding intervals while standing. This is a great way to get the heart rate up without working the glute muscles too hard as they are a bit sore from my recent adventures.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
