April 19th - A (kind of) recovery day

Today was the kind of day that makes working out tough.  Cold, rainy and dreary days make you just want to stay on the couch.  Thankfully today is a scheduled recovery day for me so rest was on the agenda today.  Of course, I did all my PT work and I decided to get some extra leg work done in the weight room during my planning period.  The leg extensions and hamstring curls are getting easier and I was able to add 5 pounds to the machine for the extensions.  Dr. Karyn wants me to try to keep a 3:2 ratio on weight for my leg work.  I do more weight for the extensions than the curls and I am still doing them one leg at a time. 

Kelly's race is tomorrow in Columbus.  She will be doing the Chattahoochee Challenge Half-Iron distance triathlon.  Because of this I will probably be taking another unscheduled rest day tomorrow, although I will be doing A LOT of walking while I support her in the race.  I will have to resist the urge to run from place to place to see her along the course. 

I hope to be back to my workout routine on Sunday with a walk and possibly a ride after church.
