Well after being horribly sick earlier in the week (out Monday and voiceless Tuesday), I was able to still get some activity in to try and build my endurance, which for whatever reason, sucks right now. It seems at 2 miles running or 20+ minutes of any physical activity, I’m just dead-legged and my “on status” (from meds and my DBS device for Parkinson’s) drops significantly.
Still, with all that said, my activities and accomplishments for the week ending 4/10/11 were:
- Wednesday, 4/6: Ran in my neighborhood (elevation change of near 100 feet per the Nike+ app). Distance run: 1.08 miles. Total time: 8:56. I set a new personal best average time per mile of 8 minutes and 16 seconds per mile.
- Thursday, 4/7: Rode my new bicycle 2 miles in mt local area. Played with a new app (iMapMyRide) but did not capture valid stats for this ride.
- Friday, 4/8: Off day.
- Saturday, 4/9: Over 45 minutes, hit 75 solid, hard-swinging drives at the driving range [golf]. I love doing this as everything from my calves, glutes, abs and arms will be sore the next day. Often I even hit the full 150 but I showed restraint this day and good thing, because I was spent by the end.
- Sunday, 4/10: Used the iMapMyRide app to record my whole ride. Distance: 2.24 miles. Total time: 17 minutes, 27 seconds. Pace: 7:48 minutes per mile. My pace was slow because (I think) I’m still getting used to a 21 speed bicycle as I’ve never had one before. Plus it was 90 degrees and I was sweating buckets as our subdivision has almost a 100 foot elevation change!
