Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Woo-hoo! My custom designed all-carbon recumbent seat and rack showed up, and I spent a pleasant few hours fiddling around in the garage.
This totally custom design fits perfectly, and I did it all by e-mail and one cardboard template mailed.

C • that's the best banana seat ever! 11

Easy ride with Bash to the Palgrave fair-trade gift fair, via Caron and Barrie's new place. Very gentle on the hills in low gears- I could still feel my knee a bit there.

Workout #1. Short on time so I did supersets.

Caron's Hard Core class

Good class, but I had to skip anything with my right leg fully bent (Child's pose, flying pigeon, anything with a squat).

Workout #3 plus some extra dumbell work.

Note- T of D worked on the knee- no running to work today.

Easy commute- right knee's still wonky.

Off to see Thumbs-of-Death tomorrow instead of my long run. Judging by the timing, it might have been too much Pigeon pose at Yoga that hurt my knee, or the fairly easy run the next day.

Wildlife watch- 3 deer, same coon twice and a Norther Goshawk all within 15M.

Nice quick run to work.

The legs feel fast, but my knee's been funny since Friday's run- something funny in the medial side. I was hoping a couple of days "off" would help. Maybe time for Thumbs-of-death.

Slower run home in the dark and pouring rain.

Yep, I'm going to log sprinting after bulletdog and her stick around the back yard with 3 year old T-girl on my shoulders, not to mention racing Bash around the zoo. Serious way to cover ground with a 3 year old.

I think Bash had more pre-event jitters here than an expedition race but a fine time was had by all.

Check out that kid-running technique- leaning forward from the ankles, no slouching at the waist, hips driving forward.
