Phase 6

posted February 2007

Start of phase 6 (from core performance) cardio in the AM: spinning 612 calories...lots of good speed work, less with the hills.

Afternoon weights for 45 minutes: 567 calories.

Both my knees (muscles from the quads to the tops of knee cap) are a little tight. This is probably a result of one legged squats on unstable surface (bench). Squated with 1 leg touching opposite leg heal to the ground. From Cody Miller's skiing instruction..I used it to replace boring lunges. This is a challenging exercise!

My left Illio Soaz is still tight(top of Quad). Need to sleep with the leg straight! Biking and sitting at the computer is not the best for this issue!

Broke down last night and resorted to Flonase before bed. Still have very little sense of smell after the cold and inflammation over Xmas. Still stuffy, but not as inflammed (fewer Kleenex used). Used the nasal wash twice yesterday.
