All around a great day. I think I got my health insurance figured out so I can get the world's best PT in Chicago with my girl who has been doing my video gait and specializes with runners. I got my heart rate monitor all programed up to my garmin easy peasy. Then went off to biking! I have no idea what I am doing on the bike - especially in this walking boot! I tried to target zone 3 the majority of the time, which is aerobic/endurance zone. I ended up making a workout during the ride: 5 min wu, 20 min in zone 3-4, 5 mins zone 2, 20 mins zone 3-4+, cd in zone 2. Average zone: 3.0, Average HR: 129 I was planning on 1 hr ride, but as I approached 1 hr I was around 17 or 18 miles, so decided to round it out to an even 20. :) The first 15 miles were at 18 MPH - I never knew I could ride a bike that fast for that far! Although who knows with these exercise bikes. Total ride: 20 miles at 17.48 MPH. Yay, the ride was pain free in the boot! "Pain free" referring to my 4th metatarsal, my quads were on fire! Now I am getting a baseline and some numbers to play around with - my heart rate and bike speed! I have so many "!"'s bc I have biker's high and I feel like I'm back to training!!! Finished up with upper body weights, 3x12 real pushups (I want to start improving this number) and 3x1:30 planks.
