Busy Monday

Wow - that was a busy day! I even got up late, but spent a lot of the day exercising (or sleeping to recover!!).

Started the day (well okay - just before lunch) with a run along the Nonsuch Park route. I'm happy to report that the knee barely twinged at all, which has left me feeling a lot more confident. The second half still suffered with the HR shooting up, and seemed particularly bad - I would be running at around 138, then a wee hill would send it up to 141, so I started walking, but the HR continued going up - even as high as 148 and on one occasion 150! What gives??

Anyway - the main aim was to test the knee, and it did seem a lot better. I must start on the physio exercises though - need to do some clams and stuff. I'm still slightly worried that my right shoulder was tensing up and got quite sore - not done that for a few months until just recently.

Next up was Pilates - and a new instructor, who seemed equally excellent. I have grown to be such as huge fan of Pilates, and it's also given me a much better awareness of how my body can be out of alignment or posture can be "off".

Then - onto Body Pump, and another new instructor to me, but an excellent one. Really enjoyed the class, and to make it even better, who should wander in but Toni, who I know from my old gym. I hadn't seen her for months, but we always used to do Body Pump classes toegether and it was great to catch up! Right shoulder did seem to be working a bit harder than usual, but no real problems and I had agreat work out.

Then into the pool for a swim (and plenty of sauna!) - I only did quarter of a mile as by this point I needed some food!

Tuesday morning - and I'm a tad sore all over, and the knee is nigglign a weeny bit. I have lost about another half a pound - was hoping to get below 90kgs today, but it can't be long coming!
